Pulaski County Release Records

A release from Pulaski County Detention Center is a physical custody event. It does not by itself mean that a charge was dismissed, a person was cleared, or a sentence ended. The jail may release someone on a court order, bond, recognizance, time served, sentence completion, probation, or another lawful basis. In other cases, the person leaves the building but enters Kentucky Department of Corrections custody, another jail, federal custody, or the control of an agency with a detainer. A detainer is a request or order from another authority to keep custody or arrange a handoff.

The county jail calls its online product a current inmate list. It is a present-custody tool, not a historical index of Pulaski County released inmates. A missing name is a clue only. The lasting proof is usually the jail release transaction paired with the court order or docket. For a state offender, Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, known as KOOL, and the DOC Daily Releases archive add state status and transaction data.

Release

A recorded exit from one custodian, which may be to the community or another authority.

Discharge

The end of a sentence or supervision term, not merely leaving a jail bed.

Time served

A disposition crediting custody already served toward the custodial term.

Detainer

A hold from a second authority that may prevent community release.

Pulaski County Release Types

The wording in the jail transaction or court order controls. Similar roster changes can have very different meanings, so the next source should match the disposition.

Can bond prove the case ended? No. Bond permits release while the case proceeds. The Pulaski clerk keeps the court order and docket, while the jail records the completed physical exit.

Pulaski Bond Release Records

A Pulaski County bond-out has two linked records. The court supplies legal authority, and the detention center completes the release process. The Pulaski Office of Circuit Court Clerk is the durable route for the bond order and later case events. Its page also says bond and filing fees cannot be paid by card over the phone. That payment detail is not a jail-record copy fee.

The jail’s published policy says staff verify both identity and legal authority before release or transfer. Staff also check warrants, holders, and detainers. Thus, posting bond on one Pulaski charge may not lead to an immediate walk out if another valid hold exists. Ask whether the final disposition was community release or transfer, and do not equate bond with dismissal.

Pulaski Release Record Fields

A focused request is more useful than asking for every jail document. Give the former detainee’s full name, date of birth if known, booking number if known, and an approximate date range. Then identify the event fields needed to confirm what happened.

A photo does not prove guilt or current custody. Likewise, a release time does not settle the court case. Read the event fields with the judicial disposition.

Request Pulaski Release Records

The detention center publishes a mailed open-records route. It does not promise an email form, a special release-record fee, or a fixed turnaround on its site. Kentucky’s Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs inspection, agency responses, copies, and exemptions. A request should seek existing records, not answers or a new report.

1. Identify the person, booking, and tight date range.
2. Ask for the booking/release sheet or electronic release transaction, including admission, release, authority, and transfer fields.
3. Mail the request under the Kentucky Open Records Act to Capt. Kevin Russell, Custodian of Records, Pulaski County Detention Center, 300 Hail Knob Road, Somerset, KY 42503.
4. Ask for an electronic copy if available and request a fee quote before copies are made.
5. If material is withheld, review the cited legal basis and narrow the request if needed.

The Kentucky county jailer retention schedule lists inmate record file series L2751, which may include photos, court papers, and property slips. It states retention until five years after release, then destruction. The custodian still determines the applicable series and any lawful exemptions for a given request.

Pulaski Court Release Records

The Pulaski Office of Circuit Court Clerk routes records for Circuit, Family, District, and Business courts. This local path is more exact than treating one statewide portal as complete. The clerk can provide copies and may provide locator information when an older file is stored elsewhere. Some older material may have been destroyed under an approved schedule.

The successful manifest capture comes from the official Pulaski court page.

The clerk record supplies the bond order, disposition, sentence, probation terms, or later restriction order that a current jail roster cannot preserve.

Pulaski Expungement Record Route

Expungement is a court process that restricts qualifying records under Kentucky law. It is not automatic at release and does not promise removal from every private copy. Kentucky Court of Justice provides official forms and process information under KRS Chapter 431. Eligibility depends on the case and disposition.

AppalReD Legal Aid’s Somerset office serves Pulaski and nearby counties, while the state court expungement page supplies the official procedure. These sources can help with lawful correction or restriction questions without treating disappearance from a roster as expungement.

Pulaski Release Records Law

Kentucky’s Open Records Act supplies the general framework for jail records. KRS 61.872 addresses public inspection. KRS 61.880 governs the agency response and the basis for a denial, while KRS 61.874 deals with copies and fees. KRS 61.878 lists exemptions. Those rules do not make every fact in a jail file open in every case. Privacy, active law-enforcement harm, security concerns, confidential sources, preliminary material, and records protected by other law can affect what is released.

Juvenile, sealed, and expunged matters need special care. A custodian can redact protected content while releasing the rest, and a denial should identify its legal basis. Requesters should use the current Legislative Research Commission text because statutes can change. They should also distinguish an online roster’s display window from government retention. Pulaski publishes no fixed time that a former entry remains online. The underlying inmate record may follow an approved retention schedule even after the public roster no longer shows the name.

Does an absent roster entry mean the record was erased? No. The public interface and the agency file are different. Contact the jail custodian for the release transaction, use the clerk for the court disposition, and ask which retention series applies if an older record cannot be found. This keeps the request tied to the office that created each part of the record.

Note: A lawful exemption may limit a field without changing the fact that a custody event occurred.

Find Pulaski County Released Inmates

Start with the last known custodian. A local arrest follows a different path from a Kentucky sentence or a federal case. Keep the spelling and time checked, and confirm each match with more than a name.

1. Check the official current Pulaski roster. Presence points to current custody; absence proves nothing by itself.
2. Search Kentucky VINE by full name or offender ID and read whether the event says release or transfer.
3. Call the detention center at 606-678-0130 and ask whether that booking is in custody, released, or transferred.
4. Review the Pulaski court case for the release order, bond, disposition, and sentence.
5. Mail a focused request for the jail’s release transaction.
6. If state authority applies, search KOOL and DOC Daily Releases. If federal authority applies, identify USMS, BOP, or ICE.

The complete recent-window fallback is also explained on the Jail Releases: 24 Hours page.

Pulaski State Release Lookup

Kentucky Offender Online Lookup covers people in KY DOC custody or supervision. Search by DOC number when possible, or use name and compare age, aliases, offense data, and other identifiers. Advanced criteria include status and the exact fields “Projected Release Date From” and “Projected Release Date To.” A projected date is a calculation, not proof of an actual exit.

KOOL says updates occur daily and warns that data newer than 120 days may not be final. “Parole” or mandatory reentry supervision means the person left confinement but remains supervised. “Discharged” is different. Confirm a completed event in status or history and the DOC Daily Releases transaction.

Pulaski DOC Daily Releases

Kentucky DOC publishes dated release PDFs with DOC number, name, type of release, and “Released From.” A state offender can be listed as released from Pulaski County Detention Center even though the county has no verified rolling 24-hour or 72-hour archive. This bridge is unique to the jail’s state population.

The DOC Daily Releases archive covers Kentucky correctional transactions only. It does not include each local bond-out, dismissal, or short county sentence. Use it after confirming that the person has a DOC number or state sentence.

Pulaski Mixed-Custody Releases

The official detention center says it houses county, state, and federal inmates. One address therefore leads to several record systems. Local detainees route to the jail and Pulaski court. State offenders route to KOOL and DOC releases. A federal pretrial person may be held for the U.S. Marshals Service, while a sentenced federal prisoner may appear in the BOP locator.

The BOP Inmate Locator offers the matched federal search image below.

A BOP result showing a past release date or “RELEASED” means the person is no longer in BOP custody, but supervision or custody in another system may remain. “IN TRANSIT,” “UNKNOWN,” or a regional office should not be called community release. ICE’s locator has a limited recent-release window, and an old no-result proves nothing.

Pulaski Release Alerts

Kentucky VINE receives data from participating county jails and state prisons. Search a specific person by name or offender ID, compare identity and facility details, and read the reported event. Release and transfer are distinct. Phone registration is available at 1-800-511-1670, and the telephone PIN acknowledges a call rather than identifying the offender.

When a match appears, note the agency, location, status, and event time shown. A transfer alert should lead to the receiving agency, not a claim that the person returned to the community. If the person is reported released from Pulaski local custody, compare the alert with the jail transaction and the court order. If the record belongs to a Kentucky state offender, compare it with KOOL and the dated DOC release PDF. Name-only matches need added care because common names and spelling variants can point to the wrong person.

VINE is timely notification data, not a certified release sheet. A missing result may reflect spelling, timing, participation, confidentiality, transfer, or federal jurisdiction. It does not confirm release. The Kentucky State Police registry is a separate, specialized system only for people legally required to register; it is not a general Pulaski release index. Registry absence therefore says nothing about an ordinary custody release.

Note: Save the date and source of an alert, then corroborate it with the agency record tied to that custody.

Pulaski Release Reentry Partnership

Somerset Community College documented the CRITICAL program as a bridge between Pulaski County Detention Center and community partners. The report names Goodwill Industries, Cumberlands Workforce Development Board, and Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority among the partners. It is a local reentry program, not a release-record system.

The successful manifest image is sourced from the college’s CRITICAL program report.

The partnership is useful after custody, while the jail, court, VINE, and corrections records remain the sources for confirming the legal event. Program participation should not be read as a court disposition, proof of discharge, or a substitute for a release record. It documents a Pulaski community bridge. The legal status still comes from the agency that held or supervised the person.

Pulaski Release Status Sources

Use the system tied to the legal custodian. The same person may move from one row to another over time.

For all routes, a current roster answers “still there” better than “what happened.” A release transaction answers the latter.

Pulaski County Release Facility

Pulaski County Detention Center is the only verified local facility in the project map. It holds local, state, and federal populations. Community releases, state transactions, and federal transfers from the same building require separate checks. No state prison, BOP institution, ICE detention center, or distinct municipal jail was verified within Pulaski County.
