Choose the Correct Office

Different offices answer different questions. Use the route that controlled the custody episode:

  • For a released inmate or county release record, start with the home page and RCDC.
  • For community supervision, use Parole / Probation. District 8’s Rowan satellite is at 1225 US Highway 60 West, Suite 102, Morehead, KY 40351; phone 606-783-8660; fax 606-783-8662.
  • For recent local departures, use Released Last 24 Hours. Rowan publishes no official rolling feed, so request the existing jail log.
  • For state release timing or alerts, use Inmate Release Date and VINELink Release Check. Kentucky VINE is available at 1-800-511-1670.
  • For a Rowan court file, use the current Kentucky Court of Justice Rowan contact page. The Circuit Court Clerk is the first contact for case copies.
  • For KDOC offender records, email correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov or write P.O. Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40602; fax 502-564-9575.
  • For a federal prisoner, use BOP. For ICE custody, use ODLS or the ICE information line at 1-888-351-4024, weekdays excluding holidays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
