Find Pulaski Detention Center Releases

Pulaski Detention Center Releases

Pulaski County Detention Center is a county jail operated through the Pulaski County jailer and detention center. A locally charged detainee may leave on a court-authorized pretrial release, bond, dismissal, time served, sentence completion, or another lawful order. The court creates the legal authority, while jail staff process and record the physical exit. A person serving a Kentucky sentence at the jail may instead have a state release transaction. Others can leave the building in the custody of another jail or a federal authority.

The destination matters. Community release ends detention by that custodian, though court terms or supervision may continue. Transfer means custody continues elsewhere. A detainer, which is a hold from another authority, can turn an expected release into a handoff. Ask for the disposition and destination agency where those fields may lawfully be released.

Confirm Pulaski Detention Center Release

The official roster landing page calls its product the current inmate list. It does not advertise a released-person filter, a 24-hour archive, or a 72-hour archive. Use it to test present custody, then move to event records when a name is absent.

1. Search the official current roster and note the time, spelling, and identifiers checked.
2. If no match appears, search Kentucky VINE for the person and distinguish a release alert from a transfer alert.
3. Call 606-678-0130 and ask whether the named booking is still held, released, or transferred. Telephone disclosure may be limited.
4. Review the Pulaski District or Circuit case for a bond order, release order, disposition, and sentence.
5. Request the jail’s booking/release transaction by mail when the exact event, time, authority, or destination matters.

Pulaski Detention Center Records

The detention center’s official site names Capt. Kevin Russell as Custodian of Records and directs all open-record requests through the mail. No official page located in the research promises email filing, an online form, a special release-record fee, or a guaranteed response time. Ask for existing records under the Kentucky Open Records Act and keep the request narrow.

Identify the person, date of birth if known, booking number if known, and approximate dates. Request the booking/release sheet or electronic transaction showing admission date and time, release date and time, release authority or type, and whether the disposition was community release or transfer. A booking photograph can be requested for that same booking. Ask for an electronic copy if available and for a fee quote before copies are made.

Kentucky’s county jailer retention schedule identifies inmate record file series L2751. The series may include photographs, court material, property slips, and related jail records, and the schedule states retention until five years after release, then destruction. The custodian determines the right record series and any exemptions in a particular case.

Pulaski Detention Center Release Policy

Pulaski County’s published February 2018 jail policy gives useful context, but it is dated. Directly confirm current practice before relying on its operational details. Policy 4.04 says staff verify identity and legal authority before a release or transfer. A booking clerk or supervisor receives the court release order, and staff check detainers, holders, and warrants before letting someone leave.

If staff find a hold, they contact the issuing agency and do not complete community release until the matter is resolved. A transferring authority must identify itself and sign a receipt. Out-of-state extradition calls for consultation with the Commonwealth’s Attorney. These steps explain why a valid court order and a completed physical exit are related but separate events.

For an ordinary release, the published policy describes changing into personal clothing, checking for injury or illness, completing fingerprints on current charges, and retrieving and inventorying property. The person signs the property form, or a deputy verifies refusal. A family member designated by the former detainee may collect property left behind within 45 days under that policy. Since the document predates the research date, call before arranging a property pickup.

Pulaski Mixed-Custody Release Routes

The official facility description says Pulaski County Detention Center houses county, state, and federal inmates and serves the sheriff, several local police departments, Kentucky State Police, and Probation and Parole. This mixed population makes custody classification essential. “Federal inmates” does not turn the county jail into a Bureau of Prisons institution, and it does not prove an ICE detention contract.

A 2025 Kentucky weekly jail report listed local, state Class D, controlled-intake, parole-violator, and federal categories at Pulaski. It was one dated snapshot, not a current population or release count, so it should not be used to estimate present capacity or daily releases.

Pulaski State Inmate Releases

A Kentucky state offender can be housed at Pulaski County Detention Center. Search Kentucky Offender Online Lookup by DOC number when known, or by name with careful identity comparison. Read current status, institutional or supervision context, offense and sentence information, and any projected release information shown. KOOL updates daily and warns that information newer than 120 days may not be final.

Next, check the Kentucky DOC Daily Releases archive for the likely date. Its PDFs list DOC number, name, type of release, and “Released From.” A state transaction may name Pulaski County Detention Center even though no county rolling release feed exists. This route covers DOC offenders only. It does not capture each local bond, dismissal, or county sentence completion.

Parole and mandatory reentry supervision both mean the person has left a jail or prison bed while remaining under legal supervision. Discharge means something else. Read the exact status, Board decision, and release transaction instead of treating every exit as the end of the sentence.

Pulaski Federal Custody Releases

For a sentenced federal prisoner, the BOP locator result guide explains what federal status labels mean.

A past release date with no facility, or a location of “RELEASED,” means the person is no longer in BOP custody. “IN TRANSIT,” “UNKNOWN,” a regional office, or a Community Corrections Management entry does not establish unconditional community release. A person may also remain supervised or appear in another justice system.

Federal pretrial detainees can be held in local facilities for the U.S. Marshals Service without having the same BOP locator record as a designated sentenced prisoner. Pulaski County lies in the Eastern District of Kentucky. Use the federal court docket, the holding jail, and the appropriate USMS office because USMS offers no general public prisoner-name locator.

Pulaski ICE Release Checks

No official source established a dedicated ICE detention center or current ICE contract at Pulaski County Detention Center. If a jail record identifies an immigration handoff, one agency’s release can still be transfer to ICE. The ICE Online Detainee Locator uses an A-number and country of birth or biographical search and includes current custody plus a limited recent-release window.

The matched manifest image comes from ICE’s detainee information resources.

A no-result can reflect a spelling or identifier mismatch, processing, a transfer, an older event, or lack of ICE custody. It is not proof of community release. Use the detention center disposition and the responsible ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations inquiry when an ICE handoff is documented.

Pulaski Release Property Records

The jail’s dated published policy links property handling to release processing. Staff retrieve and inventory personal property, and the person signs the property form or a second deputy notes a refusal. Discrepancies go to the jailer or designee. A temporary transfer expected to return within 24 hours does not trigger return of money or property under that policy.

Policy 4.05 separately addresses reimbursement for authorized confinement, booking, and some medical costs under KRS 441.265. It describes collection paths after release. Those financial consequences are not stated as a condition that must be paid before a lawful physical release. Request current details from the detention center rather than treating a dated policy as a guarantee.

No official source in the research publishes a fixed release hour, exit door, family waiting area, weekend procedure, ride pickup point, gate payment, or property-release schedule.
