Boone County Jail Release Destinations
The elected Boone County Jailer oversees booking, confinement, and release at the jail. When a local detainee posts bond, receives recognizance, completes time served, or has a qualifying court disposition, the person may leave for the community. That is only one possible path. A Kentucky sentenced prisoner may move to a DOC institution, leave under parole or mandatory reentry supervision, or discharge. Someone held for another county may transfer back to that county.
Federal and immigration paths are different. A U.S. Marshals Service prisoner can move to another contract site or federal court destination. A sentenced federal prisoner may enter Bureau of Prisons custody. An ICE detainee can transfer, be removed, or be released under immigration authority. The Boone record should be described as the close of the Boone episode until the receiving system confirms what happened next.
| Boone population | Where to verify next |
|---|---|
| Local Boone booking | Boone Released detail, jailer release log, and court disposition |
| Kentucky sentenced prisoner | KOOL, DOC Daily Releases, and supervision status |
| Federal pretrial prisoner | Federal case record and responsible U.S. Marshals district |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP Inmate Locator and federal case record |
| ICE detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator and ICE or ERO confirmation |
Confirm a Boone County Jail Release
The official Boone Inmate Information application is the first local source. A name disappearing from Current does not prove community release. Change the status to Released, search again, and open the matching detail. Compare the booking date and identifiers before linking the record to a person.
- Select Released. Use All if the current status is uncertain.
- Search by last name, then add first name or alternate spelling.
- Compare middle name, booking date, and any available identifier.
- Open Display Detail and distinguish an actual release field from the scheduled-release column.
- Read any release comment or transfer destination exactly as shown.
- Check the receiving state, federal, immigration, or county system when transfer is possible.
If the detail lacks the necessary field, call the jail or request the booking sheet and release log. For a named-person search spanning all custody classes, use the Boone County released-inmate lookup. A VINE notice or court order can support the inquiry, but neither replaces source-facility confirmation.
Boone County Jail Records Contact
Jail records belong with the elected jailer rather than Boone Fiscal Court. Direct a narrow request to the Boone County Jailer and identify the custody episode. Include the person’s full name, booking date or date range, and booking number if known. Ask for existing fields such as actual release date and time, release type or comment, and transfer destination when releasable.
Boone County Jail
3020 Conrad Lane
Burlington, KY 41005
Phone: 859-334-2143
Records fax: 859-334-2296
No official jailer-specific email form or binding jail copy-fee schedule was verified. Boone’s general county terms provide context, but confirm format and cost with the jailer. Do not use general county-office hours as release-processing hours because the jail operates continuously and publishes no fixed release timetable.
Read Boone County Jail Records
A local release record should answer whether the person left the named episode, why that episode closed, and whether another custody or supervision relationship continued. Desired fields include name and identifiers, booking number, booking date and time, arresting agency, charges, court reference, actual release time, release type, disposition, and destination. The public screen verifies names, booking date, scheduled release date, status controls, and detail access. Unseen detail fields should not be assumed.
- Bond or recognizance
- Physical release while the court case continues.
- Time served
- Completion of the custodial portion, sometimes with supervision left.
- Parole
- Conditional release following Kentucky Parole Board action.
- Transfer
- Movement to another facility or custodian, not community release.
- Scheduled release
- A planned date that may change and does not prove departure.
A dismissal or acquittal is not a conviction. It may explain why release was authorized, yet the jail record confirms when staff completed departure. Preserve exact labels when sources differ.
Who Boone County Jail Holds
Boone County Jail is county-owned and operated by the elected jailer. An official ICE inspection described adult men and women at all custody levels held for Boone and surrounding counties, Kentucky, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bureau of Prisons, and ICE. This mixed role is central to release research because the building alone does not identify the governing record system.
A dated Kentucky DOC snapshot from January 22, 2026 reported 424 beds and 433 people at Boone, including 202 federal prisoners, 36 Class D prisoners, 13 controlled-intake prisoners, and six parole violators. Those figures illustrate the mixed population on that date. They are not current counts and should not be used as present capacity or population claims.
Boone County Jailer Information
The official Boone County Jailer page identifies the office responsible for the jail and provides the facility’s contact route.

The page supports direct confirmation and records routing. It does not publish a fixed release-processing time or promise that social posts form a complete release record.
ICE Release from Boone County Jail
Boone County Jail is an active ICE detention facility. A county status change can therefore mark an immigration handoff rather than a return to the community. Search the ICE Online Detainee Locator with the nine-digit A-number and country of birth when those details are available. The biographical route uses exact name, date of birth, and country.
A no-match is not conclusive. Underage records are excluded, spellings vary, and location data can change during movement. Confirm through ICE facility or ERO channels. Use “ICE transfer,” “ICE release,” or “removal” only when the responsible source supports that exact event. The Boone criminal episode and the immigration episode are separate records.
Boone Release Depends on Custodian
The same physical jail serves local, state, federal, and immigration systems. That makes the legal custodian, not merely the last building seen, the deciding factor. For Kentucky custody, KOOL can show current location, sentence dates, and supervision, while DOC Daily Releases can document a completed state event from Boone County Jail. The Daily Releases archive does not cover every local bond or dismissal.
For federal pretrial custody, the federal case and U.S. Marshals Service explain detention and movement. BOP search applies to sentenced federal custody. For ICE, use the immigration locator and direct confirmation. When sources conflict, keep each source’s label and retrieval time. Compare booking, DOC, register, or A-number identifiers instead of joining records by name alone.
No current separate Boone work camp, municipal adult jail, or state prison was verified. The Boone jail page should not invent one. Its real distinction is already substantial: one local facility can be an exit point for one person and a transfer point for another.
Resolve Boone County Release Dates
Several dates may appear during one Boone custody episode, and they should not be treated as synonyms. The county scheduled-release column is a forecast. A court order date records judicial action. KOOL may list minimum expiration, parole eligibility, maximum expiration, or a proposed date. VINE may send a notice after a source system changes. Only an actual release field, direct jail confirmation, or a suitable post-event record supports the claim that departure occurred.
When dates differ, save the exact field name, source, and time checked. A court may authorize bond before jail staff complete administrative processing. DOC may later record a supervised state release from the same physical building. ICE or federal movement may begin after the local episode closes. These records can all be correct because they describe separate stages.
Ask the custodian for clarification before calling a field wrong. A narrow request can seek the actual release time, release comment, and destination for one booking number. If the answer confirms only that Boone custody ended, state that limit. The next custodian must confirm present location or later release.
