Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center Overview
Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center is located at 590 Columbia Street in Newport and is operated by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice. It is a secure regional juvenile detention center, not a county adult jail, work-release center, DOC adult prison, or federal detention facility. The DJJ facility page says Campbell Regional serves 15 northern Kentucky counties and houses youth ages 11 to 18. The research notes that DJJ currently describes the population as male youth referred by police, courts, and probation staff for low-level offenses.
That operator difference controls the lookup process. Adult pretrial inmates, sentenced county inmates, federal detainees, and ICE detainees may be searched through the adult jail, JailTracker, BOP, or ICE systems depending on custody. Youth at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center are not part of the Campbell County adult jail roster. Juvenile court, probation, DJJ, and authorized family or attorney contacts are the appropriate channels for placement and visitation questions.
The Kentucky DJJ Campbell facility page is the official source for the juvenile center's capacity, address, phone, and visitation information.
Because youth records have stronger privacy limits, use the DJJ page for facility facts and contact the appropriate authorized office for case-specific information.
Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center Capacity and Population
Kentucky DJJ lists Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center as a 43-bed facility. The research describes the center as serving youth ages 11 to 18 and currently serving male offenders referred by police, courts, and probation staff. It also notes that DJJ services include custody, food services, medical and mental-health care, counseling, life-skills rehabilitation, education, recreation, and restorative-justice or alternative-to-detention programming.
No adult jail population estimate should be applied to this facility. The adult Campbell County Detention Center has a separate 532-bed main jail figure, and the RCC has a 124-bed figure. Campbell Regional's sourced capacity is 43 youth beds. The research does not provide a current daily population count, race breakdown, county-by-county intake table, or case-type distribution for the youth held there, so those details should not be inferred.
How to Look Up a Youth at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center
Do not use the adult Campbell County JailTracker roster to search for a youth at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center. Juvenile detention information is more restricted than adult jail booking information, and the facility is operated by DJJ. A parent, guardian, attorney, probation officer, court contact, or other authorized person should contact the facility or the court/probation channel connected to the youth's case. Public adult tools such as JailTracker, KOOL, BOP, and ICE ODLS do not function as juvenile placement rosters.
- Confirm that the question involves a youth case, not an adult inmate at CCDC or the RCC.
- Call Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center at (859) 292-6371 for facility routing if you are authorized to receive information.
- Use the youth's court, probation, or attorney contact for case-status and placement questions that DJJ cannot disclose publicly.
- Do not expect adult booking photos, adult roster entries, or public mugshot results for youth custody.
- Use adult jail, KOOL, BOP, or ICE tools only when the person is an adult or has been moved into the relevant adult custody system.
Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center Address and Contact
The DJJ facility page provides the direct address and phone/fax number for Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center. The research also notes an April 2026 DJJ update that David Kazee was appointed interim superintendent while DJJ sought a permanent replacement. For current staffing, visit approval, and case-specific questions, rely on the facility and the assigned juvenile justice or court contacts rather than adult jail staff.

Visiting Someone at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center
DJJ publishes a juvenile-center visitation schedule that is separate from the adult CCDC video visitation rules. The research gives in-person visitation on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 1-3 p.m. It also identifies a virtual visitation station in Louisville, available weekdays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Eastern by appointment through (502) 423-2206. Because youth custody is restricted, visitors should confirm authorization, identification requirements, and the youth's eligibility before traveling.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 3:30-4:30 p.m. | Juvenile facility visitation |
| Thursday | 3:30-4:30 p.m. | Juvenile facility visitation |
| Saturday | 1-3 p.m. | Juvenile facility visitation |
| Weekdays | 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Eastern by appointment | Louisville virtual visitation station |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center
The research does not provide the same mail, commissary, phone vendor, or money-deposit tables for Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center that CCDC publishes for adult inmates. Do not apply adult CCDC JailATM, InmateSales, commissary, or jail mail rules to a youth unless DJJ or the facility confirms that a specific service applies. Juvenile detention communications are controlled by DJJ policy, facility rules, court orders, and the youth's case status.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Confirm with Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center before sending mail. |
| Phone / Video | Use DJJ facility instructions and authorized visitation contacts, not adult jail vendors by default. |
| Money Deposit | No DJJ money-deposit provider was documented in the research for this juvenile facility. |
If a family member has a youth's assigned probation officer, attorney, court worker, or case manager, that contact may be the best place to verify approved communication and property rules. The facility phone line is the fallback for routing, but case-specific information may be limited to authorized people.
Referral and Intake at Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center
Juvenile intake does not follow the adult CCDC booking path. DJJ says youth are referred by police, courts, and probation staff, and the research describes Campbell Regional as a secure regional detention setting for youth ages 11 to 18 charged with low-level offenses. The facility provides care and custody, food services, medical and mental-health care, counseling, life-skills rehabilitation, recreation, and education. Year-round educational programming is provided through Newport Independent School and Edgenuity.
Because juvenile records are restricted, public searchers should not expect a booking image, public charge table, adult bond field, or commercial mugshot result. Case questions should be handled through juvenile court, counsel, probation, DJJ, or an authorized family contact. If the person is actually 18 or older and booked at the adult detention center, then the adult roster and CCDC channels become relevant.
About Campbell Regional Juvenile Detention Center
Campbell Regional has a documented accreditation history. The research says the facility's ACA accreditation dates to 2003, with multiple reaccreditations through 2019. Its services include restorative-justice and alternative-to-detention programming in addition to detention operations. That makes it different in purpose and legal framework from the adult Campbell County Detention Center, even though both are located in Newport and appear in the same local custody landscape.
The juvenile center's presence in Campbell County can confuse searches because the adult jail, RCC, ICE-listed county jail role, and DJJ facility all sit in or near Newport government corridors. The safest rule is to sort by age, operator, and custody type first. Adult county custody goes to CCDC and JailTracker. Sentenced adult DOC custody goes to KOOL. Federal adult custody goes to BOP or USMS-related facility confirmation. Immigration custody goes to ICE ODLS or the ICE-listed jail contact. Juvenile DJJ custody stays with DJJ, court, and probation channels.
Note: Confirm authorization and visitation eligibility with DJJ or the facility before traveling to see a youth.
