Understanding Leslie County Releases
A release record marks the end or change of a specific custody episode. It is not the same as the live jail roster, a court sentence, a booking photograph, or a date that Kentucky corrections projects for the future. Leslie County Detention Center can record a person leaving its physical custody, while a court order supplies the legal authority and another agency may document the next status. The event must be tied to the right booking, person, time, and custodian.
“Released” can describe several outcomes. Bond or recognizance ends detention while a case continues. Time served or sentence expiration ends a custodial term. Probation is supervision ordered by a court and may occur without a prison release. Parole and Mandatory Reentry Supervision follow Kentucky state custody. A transfer to another jail, Kentucky DOC, ICE, or federal custody ends the Leslie booking without putting the person in the community. Death also ends custody status but is not a community release.
- Discharge
- The end of a custody term or supervision status recorded by the responsible agency.
- Time served
- A release because the credited custodial term has been completed.
- Detainer
- A request or legal basis for another agency to take custody.
- Expungement
- A court process that can remove eligible records from public systems.
Leslie County Release Paths
The next search depends on the release path. A court case may explain bond or probation, but the jail record is strongest for the time the person physically left. KOOL follows state custody and active Kentucky DOC supervision. Federal systems answer only federal or immigration questions. Reading one source outside its role creates false conclusions.
| Recorded path | Meaning | Best next source |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Local detention ended while the case may remain open | Jail release record and Leslie court order |
| Time served or expiration | The custodial term ended, subject to any other hold | Jail or DOC computation and release record |
| Probation | Court-ordered community supervision | Court judgment and KOOL, if DOC supervises |
| Parole or MRS | Conditional community release from a state term | KOOL, Parole Board record, and DOC release record |
| Transfer or commitment | Leslie custody ended, but custody continued elsewhere | Jail movement record and receiving agency |
| Federal or ICE hold | Another sovereign may have taken custody | BOP, ICE, federal court, or USMS channel |
A name leaving the Cadmus current-inmate portal does not identify which row applies. The portal has no published release archive or fixed refresh schedule. Save the exact search time and spelling, then compare VINE, the court record, KOOL, and the jail’s own release or transfer entry.
Leslie County Release Record Fields
A useful request asks for an existing record, not an explanation made for the requester. Leslie County has not published a field list for a public release database, so each item below is a record element to request if it is maintained and nonexempt. The list avoids claiming that every field exists in every booking system.
| Field or document | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | The identity and local custody episode |
| Admission date and time | When the Leslie booking began |
| Status-change date and time | When release or transfer was recorded |
| Release authority or type | Bond, order, expiration, parole, transfer, or another maintained code |
| Destination or receiving agency | Whether custody continued elsewhere |
| Commitment or release order | The legal authority received by the jail |
| Booking photograph | The image tied to the identified booking, if public |
The Leslie court file can add the signed bond order, dismissal, judgment, sentence, probation order, revocation, or later disposition. VINE records a notification-oriented custody status. KOOL documents a Kentucky state sentence or supervision status. Agreement among identifiers and dates is more reliable than a single blank search.
Request Leslie County Release Records
The official county listing identifies Jailer Danny Clark at PO Box 619, Hyden, KY 41749, 606-672-2637. The jail About page lists 606-672-1167, business hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and dannyclark.lcdc@outlook.com. No dedicated local request form or fee schedule was verified, so confirm the records custodian and delivery method before sending private identifiers.
- Identify the person with a full legal name and a second identifier, such as date of birth or booking number.
- Give the approximate booking date and ask for the existing booking release, custody-status-change, or transfer record.
- Request the recorded date and time, maintained release type, and receiving agency when the event was a transfer.
- State that medical, juvenile, victim, Social Security, security-sensitive, and other exempt material is not requested.
- Ask for electronic copies and the statutory basis for any denial or redaction.
The Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, governs access to existing public records subject to exemptions. Agencies generally need not create a new report or answer a question. Specific dates, identifiers, and record types help the custodian locate responsive material.
Leslie Release Orders and Expungement
Leslie County Circuit and District matters run through Kentucky’s 41st Judicial Circuit and District. The Office of Circuit Court Clerk keeps both levels of files. Its official Leslie County page lists the courthouse at 22010 Main Street, Unit 1, Box 7, Hyden, KY 41749, two public phone lines, and weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The clerk is a durable source when a brief jail stay no longer appears online.
Search the Kentucky Court of Justice case route, record the exact case number, and request the signed or entered order. A docket summary may show bond, sentencing, dismissal, probation, or revocation, but the full order gives the authoritative wording. The jail’s movement record then shows what the facility recorded as occurring. A planned judicial center is expected in 2028, so use the live court page for the current address until an official move is announced.
Kentucky expungement guidance ties eligible felony timing to completion. An application generally cannot be filed sooner than five years after sentence completion or successful completion of probation or parole, whichever is later. Completed relief can remove covered records from public systems. A missing result may therefore have a lawful cause and should not be rebuilt from unofficial copies.
Find Released Leslie County Inmates
Start with the agency that last held the person. A Leslie arrest can remain local, become a Kentucky DOC sentence, or move into federal authority. Each system answers a different question. Use two identifiers whenever possible, since names, aliases, and suffixes can overlap.
- Check the Leslie current-inmate portal only for present association with the jail. Note the time and spelling used.
- Search Kentucky VINE for the named person and read the agency and custody status exactly.
- Inspect the Leslie court case for a bond order, disposition, sentence, probation, or transfer authority.
- Search KOOL when Kentucky state custody or supervision may follow.
- Use BOP or ICE only when federal criminal or immigration authority is involved.
- Request the booking-specific release or transfer record when the online trail remains unclear.
A missing name on the Leslie roster can mean release, transfer, state commitment, data lag, a spelling mismatch, or a technical outage. It is not proof of community release.
The official jail site now uses `lesliecounty.kyjail.info` and sends its Inmates link to the Cadmus portal. Older directory references to another Leslie jail domain may be stale. Follow the current official navigation instead of relying on copied directory links.
The official Leslie County jail navigation shows the live route used for inmate information.
This official entry point is useful for checking the current portal, while a past release still requires the custody-event sources described above.
KOOL Leslie County Release Search
Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, known as KOOL, is the main online source for active state prisoners and people on active Kentucky DOC supervision. Begin broadly with the last name and first initial, as the official FAQ advises. Extra filters can hide the correct result if one value is wrong. Then compare PID or DOC number, conviction county, current location, status, and supervision dates.
| KOOL field | How it helps |
|---|---|
| Offender Type | Separates categories in state records |
| PID or DOC number | Matches a person more safely than name alone |
| Supervision Status | Can identify an active community status |
| Location and Location Type | Distinguishes an institution, jail, or P&P location |
| County of Supervision | Points to the supervising area, which may differ from conviction county |
| Projected Release Date From / To | Filters prospective dates, not completed releases |
KOOL warns that newer data may not be final. An institution or jail location usually means custody continues. A P&P location with supervision dates can show a community-supervision relationship. No result is inconclusive for older former offenders because the KOOL FAQ directs those inquiries to Offender Information Services.
Older Leslie County DOC Releases
Kentucky’s public search does not define the full life of the underlying record. The state retention schedule marks the “Inmates and Releases” series as permanent, while the KOOL FAQ directs older former-offender questions to Offender Information Services at PO Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40602-2400. A blank public result should therefore lead to the historical-record route, not a claim that no state record exists.
For a formal DOC request, use Kentucky DOC open records. The published channel is correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov or Division of Public Affairs, Attn: Open Records Coordinator, PO Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40602. Include the full name, date of birth or offender number, a mailing address, and the precise release or time-computation record sought.
Leslie County Recent Release Limits
No official Leslie County 24-hour or 72-hour release feed was verified. The official navigation provides a current roster, not a browseable recent-release archive. It publishes no release-feed fields, cadence, retention period, or photo policy. The Leslie County 24-Hour Releases page therefore explains the named-person fallback rather than presenting an invented list.
Kentucky VINE notification timing does not create such a feed. Jail-release calls may repeat for a registered person until acknowledged, and state-prison notice may occur ahead of a release. Those are alerts linked to one record. They are not public lists of everyone released during a time window.
Leslie County Release Supervision
Kentucky DOC Probation and Parole District 10 covers Leslie County, and the statewide office list maps Leslie to Manchester. Yet the live District 10 page calls Manchester its Clay County satellite rather than a Leslie office. Read the person’s KOOL location and call the district before travel. A Leslie jail release alone does not show that DOC supervision exists.
Probation follows a court order. Parole is conditional release from a state term before maximum expiration. Mandatory Reentry Supervision is a statutory path for qualifying people who were not granted discretionary parole. Work release is different from all three. Leslie County Detention Center publishes a Work Release contact, but program participation does not mean final discharge from custody. The Leslie County post-release supervision page explains how to verify the status and office.
Leslie Release Alerts and Transfers
Kentucky VINE supplies person-specific custody information and notification. Search the name and available identifier, compare the source agency, and register on the matching record for offered phone, email, text, or app alerts. A VINE released status can support the event date, but it may not state whether the reason was bond, expiration, or another authority.
Federal custody uses separate systems. The BOP Inmate Locator applies to federal sentences and may show a former prisoner as released with a date. ICE ODLS is for immigration detention and some recent records. USMS handles many federal pretrial and transport cases but has no broad public name locator equal to BOP. A Leslie roster disappearance cannot be converted into a federal release without the correct receiving record.
Leslie Custody and Release Sources
The same person can appear in more than one system because physical location, legal authority, and supervision are different facts. The best conclusion names the custodian that released or transferred the person and the known next status.
| Source | Best use | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| Leslie current portal | Present association with the county jail | Not a verified release archive |
| Jail release or movement record | Local physical departure, time, and maintained destination | Must be requested |
| Leslie court file | Bond, judgment, sentence, probation, or other legal order | Order timing may differ from physical departure |
| KOOL | State custody, sentence dates, and active supervision | Prospective dates are not actual release |
| VINE | Named-person custody status and alerts | Depends on agency feeds and may omit reason |
| BOP, ICE, or USMS route | Specific federal authority | Does not document a Leslie jail release by itself |
Leslie County Release Systems
The primary local facility is Leslie County Detention Center. Kentucky DOC and District 10 become relevant for state sentences and supervision. BOP, ICE, and USMS are separate federal systems, and no facility owned by those agencies was verified within Leslie County. Their pages explain the correct lookup boundary rather than suggesting each one is a local jail.
- Leslie County Detention Center, the county jail and local booking-record source
- Kentucky Department of Corrections institutions and contract or local jail beds
- Kentucky DOC Probation and Parole District 10
- Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities
- ICE detention network
- U.S. Marshals Service prisoner network
When records conflict, compare timestamps and identifiers. A signed order can authorize release before the jail records departure, and a transfer can occur after a docket entry. Describe that sequence instead of forcing every source into one status.
