Fayette County Detention Center Inmate Communication Overview
The Fayette County Detention Center is the county jail in Lexington, Kentucky, operated by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government's Division of Community Corrections. Located on Old Frankfort Pike, it houses pretrial and sentenced inmates from across Fayette County.
The detention center uses Securus for its inmate phone system, video visitation, and electronic messaging.
