“The mission of the Grayson County Detention Center is to incarcerate offenders in a manner that protects the public and institutional safety while providing a legal standard of care, and to provide programs intended to reduce the likelihood of re-incarceration.”

GRAYSON COUNTY DETENTION CENTER

Established in 2001 with over 22 years of industry experience

We can’t fulfill our mission without your help. Through cooperation with various agencies and organizations that address the root causes of crime in our community, we hope to make a real and lasting impact on the quality of life in Grayson County. Through revolutionary programs dealing with substance abuse and criminal addictive behavior, partnerships with local churches, and tried-and-true educational programs such as GED Work Keys and MRT, we are working to give inmates a better chance to succeed when they walk out of our doors. Our partnerships with agencies like the United States Marshals Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the United States Bureau of Prisons, and the Kentucky Department of Corrections allow us to bring much-needed jobs to our community at no cost to the local taxpayer.

Our staff is filled with dedicated professionals that strive to keep you safe and provide a level of care to our inmates that meets and exceeds state and federal mandates. We accomplish that through rigorous training and a common-sense approach to problem-solving. We have a lot to be proud of here at the Grayson County Detention Center, and we look forward to expanding the role our facilities play in making our community a safer, cleaner, and more prosperous place to live. I hope you enjoy your visit to our website.

Sincerely,
Jason Woosley
Grayson County Jailer
