Where To Look
The right contact depends on whether the person is in county jail custody, state prison custody, federal custody, immigration detention, or the court-record stage.
- For someone booked through the Gallatin County jail route, use jail inmate records and the Grant County Detention Center roster path.
- For booking photos, start with jail roster mugshots and then ask GCDC or the record custodian about any open-records process.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Gallatin Circuit Court Clerk.
- For the facility serving Gallatin County inmates, use the Grant County Detention Center page and the official GCDC phone line.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, search Kentucky DOC KOOL or use the Kentucky DOC open-records route for DOC-maintained records.
- For custody-change alerts, use VINELink when the person is in a covered county jail, prison, mental-health facility, or juvenile detention system.
- For a federal prisoner, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration detention, use ICE ODLS or the nearby ICE-listed Boone County Jail route when relevant.
