This is a private reference website, not a Jessamine County government office. It cannot confirm a person's custody status, release anyone, post bond, schedule visits, add money to an account, or pull official booking records. Use the official office that created or maintains the record.

Choose the record path by the type of information you need:
- For someone currently in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and then call booking at 859-885-4558 ext. 3 if the roster is unclear.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the detention center open-records email when a public profile does not show the image.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest or contact the Circuit Court Clerk.
- For a specific custody location, use the facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Kentucky offender, search Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL at https://kool.corrections.ky.gov/ and remember that KDOC says records newer than 120 days may not be finalized.
- For custody notifications, use VINELink at https://www.vinelink.com/ or 1-800-511-1670.
- For a sentenced federal prisoner, use the BOP locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/.
- For an immigration detainee, use ICE ODLS at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/.
