Fulton County Detention Center Overview
Fulton County Detention Center is the only detention facility in Fulton County identified from official sources. It is at 2010 South Seventh Street in Hickman and is operated under the elected county jailer structure. The jailer page lists Steven Williams. The sheriff's office is separate and is headed by Sheriff Chad Parker, but jail custody and inmate services are routed through the detention center.
The facility is more than a short-term holding site. The jail website describes it as a 525-bed correctional facility for male and female inmates. The Kentucky DOC weekly jail report listed 449 total jail beds for Fulton on June 4, 2026. That same report listed secure, non-secure, jail restricted custody, and restricted custody center categories, showing that the jail handles a wider population than new arrests alone.
Fulton County Detention Center Population
The June 4, 2026 KY DOC weekly jail report listed 381 people at Fulton against 449 reported beds. It also listed 298 Class D inmates, 59 parole violators, 1 federal inmate, 68 beds under capacity, and 85 percent occupancy. Class D inmates made up the largest reported group, so a person in the building may be serving or awaiting state-related custody rather than only waiting on a new Fulton County case.
The facility's advertised capacity and the DOC weekly bed count are not identical. The safest reading is to treat the 525-bed figure as the jail's own public description and the 449-bed figure as the statewide reporting measure used in weekly population reports.

Booking at Fulton Detention Center
The official booking page says inmates are booked using JailTracker. After processing, pretrial services is notified, and a pretrial officer interviews the inmate. The officer contacts the judge to get bond set. If the inmate cannot make bond, the jail dresses the person in jail-issued clothing and places the person into population.
Several local details were not published in the accessible official text, including exact booking duration, exact time for roster posting, property-release rules, and medical-screening detail. A family member should confirm time-sensitive bond, release, and pickup rules by phone. The Fulton County inmate records page explains how roster entries, court charges, and state DOC records split after booking.
Fulton Jail Records Requests
For old bookings, copies, mugshot requests, or records no longer visible on the roster, the detention center links a standardized open-records form. The jail's links page says requests need to be filled out and emailed to records custodian Deputy Benjamin Parker at bparker@fultonkyjail.com. Kentucky open-records rules apply, but exemptions can limit juvenile, medical, sealed, expunged, or active investigative material.
The jail record is also separate from the court record. The roster may list an arrest or booking charge, while the prosecutor and court file may later show an amended, reduced, dismissed, indicted, or resolved charge. Use the Fulton Circuit Court Clerk and KYeCourts for formal case records after arrest.
About Fulton County Detention Center

It also commits to Kentucky Jail Standards, safe conditions for staff and inmates, public-funds stewardship, quality programs and services, and a professional trained staff.
Research did not locate a Fulton-specific public handbook for GED programs, substance-abuse programs, grievance steps, medical sick call, or work-release schedules. The DOC weekly report includes restricted-custody reporting categories, but the jail site did not publish a detailed local work-release guide in accessible text.
Note: Confirm current custody, visit approval, mail routing, and release rules with the jail before travel or payment.
