Bourbon Jail Release Destinations
Bourbon County Regional Jail, also called Bourbon County Detention Center by Pendleton officials, is the same Paris facility. It holds a mixed regional population of state, county, city, work-release, parole-violation, and federal detainees. “Released” from Bourbon describes the end of this jail’s custody episode. It does not always mean a return to the community.
Bond, a court order, time served, or sentence completion can lead to community release. A transfer to KDOC, another jail, BOP, USMS, ICE, a hospital, or another secure placement also removes the person from Bourbon’s current list. The release or transfer record should identify the type, authority, time, and destination. That wording determines which locator should be checked next.
Confirm Bourbon Jail Release Records
The official Bourbon jail site labels its Cadmus link “Current Inmate List.” A matching entry supports currently reported jail custody. No entry proves only that the search did not return the person at that time.
- Search the Bourbon-specific current portal with careful spelling.
- Call 859-987-2137 and ask whether the named booking ended by community release or transfer.
- Request the booking sheet and release or transfer portion of the jail record.
- Compare the result with the Pendleton District or Circuit Court case.
- Follow any KDOC, federal, immigration, or other-county destination in the correct system.
The broader Pendleton County released-inmate search explains how these channels fit together. A current roster is not a historical release archive, and no official Bourbon rolling recent-release feed was found.
Bourbon Jail Record Fields
A focused request seeks existing documents for one custody episode. Include the person’s name, a date of birth or booking number when legitimately known, and an approximate booking date. Ask for electronic copies and an advance cost estimate.
| Requested field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Booking number and admission | Identifies the correct jail episode. |
| Charges, bond, court, holds | Shows why release may have been delayed. |
| Release date and time | Documents physical processing. |
| Type and authority | Separates bond, time served, and transfer. |
| Destination | Points to the next custodian. |
Not every field is guaranteed to be public. Exempt portions may be redacted. Bourbon has not published a specific copy fee, release-record form, retention period, or booking-photo policy in the reviewed sources.
Bourbon Jail Contact and Scale
The jail lists 101 Legion Road, Paris, Kentucky 40361, telephone 859-987-2137, and s.norris@bourboncountydetention.com. Confirm the current records custodian and accepted request method before sending sensitive identifiers.
A KDOC weekly jail report dated December 18, 2025 listed 197 beds and 213 people, including 93 federal inmates. This is a one-day regional snapshot, not a Pendleton release total. It shows why a person leaving Bourbon may enter a different custody system.
Pendleton Release Records Cross Custodians
Pendleton County has no adult detention facility. Its sheriff and jailer handle different transport periods, Bourbon books and physically releases or transfers the person, and the Pendleton clerk holds the legal case trail. One request rarely reaches every record.
Ask Pendleton for its own arrest or transport material, Bourbon for booking and physical release data, and the clerk for the bond, dismissal, sentencing, probation, or transfer order. The judge’s authorization may precede discharge while staff check holds, process property, and complete the jail record. Preserve both timestamps instead of treating them as conflicting.
Bourbon Current Roster Limits
The public Cadmus product answers a narrow question: whether the person is returned as a current detainee. Charges and bond information are the fields confirmed by the official jail wrapper. Research did not verify a public release date, reason, update schedule, archive window, or rolling list of people who left. The safe reading is exact. A displayed person is reported in custody; a missing person needs a second source.
Several events can produce the same blank search. Staff may have released the person on bond, completed a sentence, transferred the person, corrected a name, or not yet synchronized the portal. Search spelling variants, then call the jail. For a past episode, request the underlying record rather than trying to reconstruct a release from changes in a live list.
Bourbon Release Terms Explained
The event label controls how the result should be described. Bond release ends physical detention while the Pendleton case continues. Time served means the custodial time ordered in that matter has been credited or completed, though a different hold may remain. Transfer ends Bourbon custody but begins or continues custody with another agency. Parole moves a state prisoner into supervised release, while probation is a court order that may occur without a prison admission.
- Release authority
- The court order, sentence event, or lawful basis directing the jail to end custody.
- Hold
- A separate legal reason that can delay departure after one charge is resolved.
- Destination
- The community or receiving custodian recorded when Bourbon closes the episode.
- Discharge
- An end point that may refer to custody, supervision, or both, depending on the record.
Use the agency’s own term and date. Calling every departure “free” hides the key difference between community release and continued confinement elsewhere.
Pendleton Court Release Timing
A Pendleton judge can authorize a bond change, dismissal, probation, time-served sentence, or commitment to KDOC even though Bourbon staff perform the physical release. The Pendleton Circuit Clerk preserves the District or Circuit case trail. That docket may show what the judge ordered, but it does not prove the minute when jail staff completed the process.
Compare the order with Bourbon’s release event. Staff may still need to receive and verify the order, check another warrant or detainer, settle authorized property procedures, and record a destination. If the dates differ, describe each event separately. The court date is legal authority; the jail date and time are physical custody evidence. This distinction is especially useful after weekends, holidays, or multi-case holds.
Bourbon Release Verification Sources
Identity matching is part of reliable release work. Use a booking number, case number, DOC number, or full name plus another reliable identifier. Names can collide, spellings change, and aliases may appear in one system but not another. Record the date each portal was checked because a live custody result can change within hours.
After a state transfer, KOOL may show an institution, supervision office, sentence data, photo, or projected date. It is not a complete archive of brief county bookings. A dated KDOC Daily Releases report can confirm an actual state release event and its stated type. For a federal transfer, identify whether BOP, USMS, or ICE received the person before searching. A negative result in the wrong system proves nothing about Bourbon’s earlier custody.
