Boone County Release Records Explained

A Boone County jail record marked Released establishes that one custody episode at the named facility ended. It does not always mean the person walked out free of all custody. Boone County Jail holds people for local courts, surrounding counties, the Kentucky Department of Corrections, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bureau of Prisons, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The next event may be a return to the community, court-ordered supervision, a transfer to another jail or prison, or continued immigration custody.

That distinction controls the search. Boone booking and release records document the local episode. Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, known as KOOL, covers state sentenced offenders and people under many forms of DOC supervision. A Boone court file explains the legal disposition. BOP and ICE records address federal or immigration custody. A name match alone is not enough. Compare a booking number, DOC or federal identifier, date of birth, middle name, booking date, and case details before treating records as belonging to the same person.

Discharge

The end of a sentence or a specific correctional obligation, as identified by the agency record.

Time served

A court disposition accounting for time already spent in custody. Another hold or supervision may still apply.

Parole

Conditional release from incarceration after action by the Kentucky Parole Board.

Probation

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

Boone County Inmate Release Types

The words attached to a Boone County release matter. Bond or recognizance ends physical confinement while the case continues. Dismissal or acquittal describes a court outcome, but the jail still must process the departure. Time served or sentence expiration may end confinement while conditional discharge or another form of supervision continues. Parole, probation, shock probation, and mandatory reentry supervision are separate legal paths.

A transfer closes custody at Boone without ending custody overall. The destination might be another county, a Kentucky prison, a federal site, or an ICE facility. An administrative exit caused by death must never be described as an ordinary release. These differences make the release reason, comments, and transfer destination as important as the date itself.

Note: A scheduled date is a prediction or administrative field, while an actual release date records an event that has already occurred.

What Boone County Release Records Show

A complete Boone County release record ties the departure to the correct booking. The public inmate application confirms that users can search by status and name, view booking and scheduled-release columns, and open more detail. The dynamic detail should be checked for the actual release date and comments. When those items are not displayed, request the existing booking sheet and release-log entry from the elected jailer.

Does Released mean free? No. It means the Boone custody episode closed. Confirm another agency did not accept custody before describing the outcome as release into the community.

Request Boone County Release Records

Boone County states that Fiscal Court is not the custodian of jail records. A jail request belongs with Jason Maydak, the elected Jailer, at Boone County Jail, 3020 Conrad Lane, Burlington, KY 41005. The main number is 859-334-2143 and the records fax is 859-334-2296. Ask for existing records instead of asking staff to research or create a narrative answer.

1. Identify the person and custody episode with a full name, booking number if known, and a narrow booking-date range.
2. Request the booking sheet, release record or log entry, and the fields needed, including actual release time, type, comments, and destination.
3. State whether inspection, an electronic copy, or paper copies are preferred.
4. Ask that nonexempt parts be separated and that any withholding cite its legal basis.
5. Confirm the applicable jailer fee before ordering copies.

The county’s general open-records policy describes a response within five working days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, under KRS 61.870 through 61.884. It also lists general Fiscal Court charges of ten cents per page, five dollars per disc, actual postage, and no fee for available emailed digital records. Because the jailer is a separate elected custodian, those rates should not be promised for jail records.

The Boone County open-records page identifies the correct custodian. The captured source below shows why a request for jail material must be routed to the jailer rather than the general county portal.

This routing is central to obtaining an actual release log when the public screen provides only a scheduled date or limited detail.

Boone Release Records and Court Orders

Boone County is Kentucky’s 54th Judicial Circuit and District. The Boone Circuit Court Clerk holds the trial-court file at the Boone County Justice Center, 6025 Rogers Lane, Room 141, Burlington, KY 41005. The clerk’s office can provide the docket, judgment, bond or release order, sentencing order, probation or shock-probation order, dismissal or acquittal entry, and revocation entries. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; the phone is 859-448-2900.

The local calendar separates District preliminary and arraignment work from Circuit felony matters. That structure helps identify which record may explain the result. Still, a court order does not prove the exact time jail staff completed release. A dismissal may coexist with another hold, and a bond order must be processed. Match the case number to the booking, then confirm execution with Boone County Jail or the correctional agency involved.

Missing Boone County Release Records

Kentucky expungement can lawfully remove an official trail. Cases dismissed with prejudice or ending in acquittal on or after July 15, 2020 generally auto-expunge after 30 days, except traffic matters. An eligible felony petition generally requires five years after sentence completion or successful probation or parole, whichever occurs later. Once granted, the judgment is vacated, the charge is dismissed, and the order can reach KSP, the arresting agency, and the jail.

The official process requires a forty-dollar certification that expires after thirty days. The Kentucky Courts material lists a total felony fee of three hundred dollars, split between filing and a later amount due after a grant. These are expungement costs, not release fees. Sealed matters, juvenile confidentiality, correction of data, and lawful retention or destruction rules may also explain why an old result is unavailable.

Boone Release Counts Need Dates

An official Kentucky DOC weekly snapshot dated January 22, 2026 reported 424 beds and 433 people at Boone County Jail. It separately listed 202 federal prisoners, 36 Class D prisoners, 13 controlled-intake prisoners, and six parole violators. Those figures are historical, not a current population count. Their value is context: they show how sharply Boone’s legal custodians can vary within one building.

A dated snapshot cannot establish how many people are held or released now. It does show why a Boone County Released result must be paired with the system that controlled the person’s next step.

Boone Releases Cross Custody Systems

The same Boone County Jail houses local and surrounding-county detainees, Kentucky state prisoners, ICE detainees, and people held for USMS or BOP. Physical location alone does not identify the correct release archive. Legal custody does. A county bond release stays in the Boone record and court file. A state-sentence event may appear in KOOL and the DOC Daily Releases archive. A sentenced federal person belongs in the BOP locator, while a federal pretrial movement may require the federal case and USMS confirmation.

The official Boone County Jailer page describes the office responsible for booking, custody, and release. Its captured page supplies the local contact point when the inmate application does not settle whether the event was a departure or handoff.

The jailer is the source for the Boone episode, but the receiving agency becomes the source for present custody after a transfer.

Boone Releases and ICE Transfers

Boone County Jail is an active ICE detention facility. A person may disappear from the county Current list or appear as Released because the local booking closed while immigration custody continued. Search the ICE Online Detainee Locator with the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when available. The alternate search requires exact name, date of birth, and country. Under-18 records are excluded, and a no-match may reflect spelling, timing, transfer, or the locator’s scope.

ICE’s facility or Enforcement and Removal Operations channel should confirm the result. An immigration transfer, removal, release from ICE, and release into the community are distinct events. Use the exact description supported by the record. If criminal custody ended first, the Boone date remains part of the history, while ICE becomes the source for what happened next.

Note: A transfer between custodians is movement, not release into the community, even when the Boone booking itself is marked Released.

Boone Release Fees Need Context

Boone’s historical fiscal year 2023 budget separately recorded federal-prisoner payments, jail contract fees, state-inmate payments, work-release revenue, and prisoner reimbursement. Those accounting lines support the mixed-custody picture. They do not establish a current fee owed by a released person, a bond schedule, or a price for a jail record.

Keep three categories separate. Court bond is set within a case. A records copy charge comes from the custodian and should be confirmed before an order. Government reimbursement or contract revenue concerns how agencies fund custody. None of these can be treated as a release fee without a current, controlling source. Boone research found no binding jailer-specific copy schedule and no verified local bond schedule, so a narrow call or written request is the sound route.

Find Boone County Released Inmates

Start with the likely custody class. For a recent local booking, open the official Boone inmate application, change Inmate Status from Current to Released, and search the last name. Add the first name only after checking broader matches. Use All status and alternate spellings when needed. Compare booking dates and identifiers, then open Display Detail. An actual release date or comment is stronger than a scheduled-release column.

1. Check Boone Released for the local booking and read the detailed record.
2. Use KOOL when a Kentucky felony sentence, DOC/PID, county jail state bed, or supervision status is involved.
3. Check the DOC Daily Releases report on and near the suspected date for a state-managed event.
4. Obtain the Boone court disposition to explain bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, or revocation.
5. Use BOP, the federal case and USMS, or ICE when those custodians apply.
6. Send an itemized request to the correct records custodian if the online trail remains incomplete.

The official Boone County inmate application is the first local source. The captured landing screen shows the status controls and search layout used to move beyond the Current list.

The Released option is useful, but it is not labeled as a fixed recent-release window. No public cadence or retention promise appears on the interface.

Boone Released Inmates in KOOL

KOOL covers Kentucky sentenced offenders, including some people held in county jail beds and some who now live in the community under supervision. It does not cover every Boone arrest. A short booking resolved by bond or dismissal may never appear. Search by last name and first initial, then narrow only as needed. Open the full record and compare identifiers, conviction county, location, and status.

Individual detail can separately list Minimum Expiration of Sentence Date (Good Time Release Date), Expected Time To Serve, Parole Eligibility Date, Maximum Expiration, and a hearing-table Proposed Release Date. Do not merge those labels. KOOL reports updates four times daily, but that does not guarantee immediate entry of a court or jail event. Pair a changed status with the date-specific DOC Daily Releases archive when a state release must be confirmed.

For Boone supervision, check status and County of Supervision, then contact Probation and Parole District 7 at 859-292-6555 if the correct unit remains unclear. Further distinctions appear on the Boone County Parole / Probation page.

Boone Release Status by System

Current custody and past release are not found in one universal database. Use the narrowest official system that fits the person’s legal custody, then corroborate the result. Kentucky VINE can provide a custody check and release notification, but it is not a court-case service and should not be the sole source. The KSP Sex Offender Registry covers only people with a statutory registration duty and cannot establish a general release date.

A BOP Released result with a past date means no longer in BOP custody. “In Transit” does not. USMS has no comparable public historical locator for federal pretrial movement, so the federal court case and the responsible district may be needed. VINELink alerts also require source confirmation, especially when both local-jail and DOC records exist for one person.

Boone County Release Record Sources

Five systems form the practical Boone County facility and record map. Boone County Jail is the primary physical detention site and may release to the community or hand custody to another agency. Kentucky DOC institutions and contract jail beds cover state sentences through KOOL and Daily Releases. The Boone County Justice Center holds the orders and case outcomes. Federal systems cover USMS and BOP custody, while the Kentucky State Police registry serves only the narrow population required to register.

• Boone County Jail: local booking and release record, with transfer checks when another custodian follows.
• Kentucky Department of Corrections Institutions and Contract Jail Beds: state status, discharge, and supervision records.
• Boone County Justice Center / 54th Judicial Circuit and District: judgments, bonds, dismissals, sentences, and probation orders.
• Federal Custody Systems Serving Boone Detainees: USMS movement and BOP sentenced-custody records.
• Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry: a separate statutory registry, not a released-inmate archive.

Choose by custodian, not by the last building seen. Where records disagree, preserve each source’s exact status and date label, then seek direct confirmation rather than declaring one record wrong.
