Find Bullitt County Released Inmates

Bullitt County Release Records

A Bullitt County release means that one custodian ended a custody episode. It does not always mean the person returned to the community. Bullitt County Detention Center may record bond, recognizance, dismissal, time served, sentence completion, transfer, or a new receiving authority. A person held under Kentucky Department of Corrections authority may instead be paroled, discharged, placed on supervision, or moved to another institution. Federal and immigration custody are separate systems.

The Bullitt County Jailer operates the detention center. Kentucky Department of Corrections, often called KDOC, manages the state correctional record. Courts supply the legal orders behind bond, dismissal, sentencing, and probation. Each source answers a distinct question. The jail release entry is best for when the person physically left Bullitt custody and what disposition the jail entered. A court order may explain why release was authorized, while KOOL may show what followed in the state system.

Discharge

The end of a correctional sentence or supervision duty, according to the field used by that agency.

Time served

Credit showing the confinement duty in that entry has been satisfied.

Parole

Conditional community supervision after imprisonment.

Probation

Court-ordered community supervision that may begin without a prison release.

Detainer

A notice that another authority may seek custody.

Bullitt County Release Types

The recorded reason controls the meaning of a Bullitt County release. Bond or recognizance ends jail custody while the criminal case continues. A dismissal resolves a charge but does not erase another case or hold. Transfer means custody continues elsewhere. Parole ends prison confinement under conditions, while final discharge may end the remaining correctional duty. Reading only the roster cannot reveal these differences.

Can a dismissed case still have a later jail exit? Yes. Staff may need to process the order or check other holds. Pair the court outcome with the custodian's release time.

Bullitt County Release Record Fields

A useful request asks for existing fields, not a custom investigation. Bullitt's booking and release packet may tie the exit back to the exact booking, list the date and time, give the reason or disposition, and identify a transfer destination when maintained. The booking image and the field legend can help identify the right event and interpret codes. Some data may be withheld or redacted under a valid exemption.

Website removal is not the same as record destruction. Retention depends on the precise record series in the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives schedule. A roster entry, booking photo, court file, and medical record can follow different rules.

Request Bullitt County Release Records

The Bullitt detention center open-records page requires a written request. For inmate records, provide the full name and date of birth. The request must be typed or legibly printed, bear the requester's printed name and signature, describe the records, and include a mailing address. Email and mail submissions are accepted at any time; hand delivery follows general public hours.

1. Identify the person by full name and date of birth, then narrow the booking by an approximate start date.
2. Ask for the existing booking record, release date and time, disposition, and transfer or destination fields.
3. Request the booking photograph and any existing code legend if those records matter.
4. Choose email, mail, or hand delivery and include the signed requester information and mailing address.
5. Keep the sent copy and note the receipt date. The posted five-business-day period is a response deadline, not a promise that all records arrive then.

Inspection by scheduled appointment is free. Black-and-white copies are ten cents per page. Existing electronic records are free through the jail's four-megabyte threshold; larger responsive files are placed on a $5 flash drive and mailed with postage charged. Major Dinarte Pimentel is listed as nonmedical records custodian at 1671 South Preston Highway, Shepherdsville, Kentucky 40165. Requests may be emailed to dpimentel@bullittky.com. The jail lists 502-543-7263 and general hours of Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding holidays.

The official page's request details are visible in the source image below.

The captured page supports the county-specific identity, delivery, fee, hour, and response details that a requester should confirm at submission time.

Note: The records email accepts requests, not status questions, so use the jail telephone for a time-sensitive custody clarification.

Bullitt County Release Record Law

KRS 61.872 sets Kentucky inspection and request mechanics, including the state's resident-access rule and exceptions. KRS 61.874 addresses copies and fees. KRS 61.878 contains exemptions, including privacy, active enforcement, preliminary material, and records made confidential by other law. KRS 61.880 governs agency responses and the Attorney General appeal route.

Access is not absolute. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, confidential, or properly exempt fields may not appear publicly. Kentucky's official expungement process can restrict lawful visibility for qualifying cases. An empty result after expungement is not evidence that no booking ever existed. Court records also use judicial access rules, not the executive-agency deadline. Ask the responsible custodian for its own record rather than expecting one office to compile every part of a release history.

Bullitt County Bond Releases

Bullitt release decisions may pass through Kentucky Pretrial Services and a judge. A pretrial specialist can assess the case and notify the jail and clerk after a judicial decision. Kentucky court data separates administrative, non-financial, financial, transfer, 60-day-rule, and detention-until-disposition outcomes. Those terms describe different ways custody may end or continue.

A bond release is not a dismissal or sentence completion. It means physical custody ended under conditions while the court case remained active. Personal recognizance generally relies on a promise to appear. An unsecured or secured arrangement adds court-set terms. The court file should show the legal authority, but the Bullitt jail release entry remains the source for the actual exit time and disposition recorded by the custodian.

Bullitt County Release Blackouts

The official inmate-services page states that releases or bonding are not conducted during three daily blocks: 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m. to noon, and 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. These are processing constraints. They are not promised release times, and they do not prove when a named person will leave.

Weekday bonds from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. are directed to the Bullitt County Judicial Center. After hours, on weekends, and during court closures, the jail routes bonding to door 118 at the detention center. Door 118 is a bond-payment location, not a confirmed public release exit. Call the detention center before travel because the research found no official waiting area, fixed exit door, transport service, or property-return deadline.

The official source image shows the current Bullitt release and bonding instructions.

These posted limits help plan a bond payment, but only the completed release entry can establish the actual time custody ended.

Bullitt Release Request Enforcement

A Bullitt-specific ruling adds context to the request process. In Attorney General decision 25-ORD-137, dated May 27, 2025, the Attorney General found that the detention center had violated the Open Records Act by missing the five-business-day response requirement and, at that time, failing to display required rules and custodian information.

The current jail page now publishes the custodian, fee schedule, public hours, and response period. That history does not mean each requested record must be released without review. It does show why a requester should keep proof of delivery, state the records with care, and track the formal response date. If records are in use, storage, or unavailable, the agency response should explain why and give the earliest available date.

Find Bullitt County Released Inmates

The search must follow the last known custody system. Bullitt's official JailTracker is labeled “Current Inmates.” It can show that someone is displayed in custody now, but it has no official release archive, release-date filter, or 24-hour or 72-hour list. A missing name cannot distinguish release, transfer, state movement, another county, an ICE or federal hold, a spelling issue, data lag, or a system outage.

1. Identify whether the last custodian was Bullitt County Detention Center, KDOC, BOP, USMS, or ICE.
2. Check the Bullitt current roster only as a present-custody test. Record the spelling and time searched.
3. Search Kentucky VINE for the same person and inspect the exact status, location, and custody event.
4. Use KOOL and KDOC daily releases when state custody or supervision is possible.
5. Check both Bullitt District and Circuit Court records for bond, disposition, sentence, probation, or later orders.
6. Request Bullitt's release and transfer fields because no county released-person archive exists.
7. Check BOP, the federal docket or USMS, and ICE when the facts point to those systems.

The official current-inmate page is shown below.

Its current-custody label is the key limit. The image should never be read as a historic Bullitt County release list.

Bullitt Released Offender Search

Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, or KOOL, covers the KDOC correctional population. It does not contain every Bullitt County booking. Search with limited information first, then narrow carefully. The official system supports name, aliases, offender type, DOC and PID numbers, supervision status, location, county of supervision, age range, offense data, conviction county, relevant begin dates, abscond dates, and a projected-release-date range.

Open the verified detail and record each label exactly. Parole eligibility, proposed release, minimum expiration, and final discharge do not mean the same thing. KOOL warns that offender data newer than 120 days may not be final. KDOC daily-release reports can show a state release type and location, including Bullitt County Detention Center, but those reports are not complete lists of county bond-outs or dismissals.

Bullitt County Release Notifications

Kentucky VINE through VINELink lets a reader search a specific participating offender record and register for custody-change alerts. Search by name or offender ID, compare identifiers, open the correct record, and read its displayed status and location. If a release event appears, preserve the event details and verify them with Bullitt or KDOC when exact time, reason, or destination matters.

Phone, text, or email registration may be offered. Telephone alerts use a four-digit PIN to confirm receipt and stop repeat calls. Save the offender ID and registration confirmation. VINE does not cover the entire BOP or ICE universe, and a no-result does not prove release. It is prompt evidence from a participating feed, not a replacement for the custodian's final release record.

The Kentucky VINE search interface is captured below.

The live interface controls which search and alert options are available for the selected Bullitt County record.

Bullitt Release Court Records

The Bullitt court file can explain the legal authority for release long after a person leaves the jail display. District Court handles misdemeanors, violations, and early felony stages. Circuit Court handles felony prosecutions and other circuit matters. A felony can begin under a District number and continue under a Circuit number, so both case paths may matter.

The Bullitt County court page routes general information, bonds, cases, and warrants through menu option 1; District criminal matters through option 3; and Circuit criminal matters through option 4. The clerk can give locator numbers for older files kept offsite. Some older records may have been destroyed under retention schedules. CourtNet and the public docket selector help locate cases, but the docket selector says it is not official. Obtain the actual order.

Ask for the bond or release order, dismissal or acquittal order, final judgment, sentencing order, probation order, revocation or termination order, or sentence-satisfaction entry as appropriate. Then pair that legal event with Bullitt's release timestamp. A court date alone is not the jail door time.

Bullitt County Release Reentry

The Bullitt County Health Department resource guide identifies a local KDOC Division of Reentry contact operating through Bullitt County Probation and Parole at 138 Old Preston Highway South in Shepherdsville. The listing gives Tamara Taylor, tamara.taylor@ky.gov, and 270-307-9246.

This is a local service-navigation point, not proof that a named person was released or placed on supervision. KOOL should supply the public state status first. KDOC's official directory lists Bullitt County Probation and Parole in District 5 at 502-782-3851. Parole usually follows imprisonment, while probation is ordered by a court and may begin without prison release. Pretrial monitoring is a third and separate court program. A Bullitt bond-out should not be labeled parole merely because a reentry office serves the county.

Bullitt Release ICE Holds

Bullitt County Detention Center entered an ICE 287(g) Jail Enforcement Model agreement in March 2025. This creates a local reason why a county criminal hold can end without the person returning to the community. The agreement authorizes defined immigration-enforcement functions. It is not proof that any named person has an immigration case, and it does not by itself prove a separate bed contract.

If the Bullitt release or transfer record identifies immigration custody, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator by A-number and country of birth or by biographical data. Recent movement, spelling, age limits, or data timing can cause no result. ICE's Detention Reporting and Information Line is the official fallback. For a federal criminal matter, use the BOP Inmate Locator for the BOP universe or the federal docket and identified holding agency for pretrial USMS custody.

Bullitt Roster Transfer Lesson

Flooding forced a full Bullitt jail evacuation in April 2025. A local report said 123 people were temporarily housed at Grayson County Detention Center and later returned. This was emergency placement, not a standard Bullitt release route and not a reason to create a Grayson facility page.

The event provides a sharp lesson for any released-inmate search. Even a large or sudden change in a current roster can reflect relocation rather than freedom. The search result must state only what the evidence proves. “Not found on Bullitt's current roster” is accurate. “Released to the community” requires a release entry, matching VINE event, state record, court documentation, or confirmation from the custodian that distinguishes release from transfer.

Bullitt Release Search Choices

Choose the record by custody universe and the question being asked. A live jail roster answers who is displayed now. A Bullitt release packet answers how that local booking ended. KOOL follows the state correctional population, while BOP and ICE maintain different federal records.

What if sources show different dates? Preserve each label and time. A court authority date, VINE event, and physical exit time can describe different stages. Ask the agency that owns the disputed field to explain or correct it.

Bullitt County Release Facilities

Bullitt County Detention Center is the main county facility. Its booking and release record is the strongest proof of a physical Bullitt exit and its disposition. A person can return to the community or move to KDOC, another county, federal authorities, or immigration custody.

Kentucky Department of Corrections serves Bullitt through state institutions, state supervision, and contract or county beds. KOOL, KDOC daily releases, institutional records, and Probation and Parole follow this system. No separate municipal jail, state prison, or federal prison was identified inside Bullitt County.

Note: Bullitt County Detention Center can appear as a KDOC release location without making that state report a complete county release list.
