Clark County also publishes an open records request form for requests handled under Kentucky's open records process, including KRS 61.870 and related provisions. The form asks for specific record descriptions and lets requesters choose electronic or hard copies. Electronic records are listed as free, while hard copies are 10 cents per page.
- For someone believed to be in the county jail, start with jail inmate records and the detention center number.
- For booking photos or photo availability, review jail roster mugshots and verify with the jail or record custodian.
- For charges, court dates, and bond paperwork after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the court clerk numbers above.
- For facility-specific details, use the detention facility links in the footer.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, search the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup rather than relying only on the Clark County jail roster.
- For federal prisoners or immigration detainees, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE detainee locator.
