Use the detention center first for a local booking or release transaction. Fiscal Court can route a county request, while KDOC handles state-prison release and offender records. The sheriff is a separate law-enforcement office and is not the default custodian for detention-center release records. The court route supplies bond, disposition, sentence, and release orders.
- For a released person or release sheet, begin with the home search and records path.
- For supervision assigned to Shelbyville, contact District 12 at 859 Taylorsville Road or (502) 633-3327.
- For a recent county departure, call the jail and request the transaction because Shelby publishes no release feed.
- For a calculated state date or alert, use KOOL and Kentucky VINE.
- For KCIW, call (502) 241-8454 at 2401 Ash Avenue, Pewee Valley, KY 40056.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, use KOOL before requesting the underlying KDOC record.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator that controls that custody.
