Perry County Release Date Types
Kentucky does not publish one universal release-date field. The Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, or KOOL, uses “Projected Release Date From/To” in Advanced Search. An individual state record may show Expected Time To Serve, Minimum Expiration of Sentence Date, Parole Eligibility Date, Maximum Expiration of Sentence Date, and sometimes Proposed Release Date. Each answers a different question.
Expected Time To Serve is an estimate tied to sentence computation. The minimum expiration or good-time date reflects the applicable credit position. Maximum expiration describes the end without qualifying reductions. Parole eligibility is the first point for review under the applicable rules, not a grant. A proposed parole release may still depend on conditions and processing.
- Projected release
- A current estimate that can change as the sentence record changes.
- Parole eligibility
- The point when parole review may occur, not release approval.
- Actual release
- The physical custody exit recorded by the jail or corrections agency.
- Discharge
- The end of the sentence or supervision obligation.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another authority that may prevent community release.
Find Perry County Projected Release Dates
Start by identifying the custody system. A state prisoner, a state inmate housed at KRRJ, and a person serving a strictly local jail sentence do not share one date source. KOOL is the public starting point for KDOC sentences and supervision. KRRJ and the court are the better route for a local sentence or pretrial case.
- Confirm the person’s full name and a reliable booking, PID, or DOC number.
- Determine whether KRRJ or KDOC controls the sentence record.
- For KDOC, open KOOL and match all identifiers.
- Read every displayed date label, not just the earliest date.
- Check status, institution, sentence rows, and parole action.
- For a local case, ask KRRJ for the custody record and the Perry court for the signed order.
- Ask the responsible agency for an official time computation when fields conflict.
- After the date arrives, verify actual release rather than relying on the old projection.
Advanced Search supports status, location, supervision county, conviction facts, institution dates, abscond ranges, and projected-release date ranges. A name-only result can match the wrong person. Open the detail record and reconcile aliases, PID or DOC number, physical description, current location, and sentence entries.
Perry County State Sentence Fields
The sentence fields should be read as a set. A projected date can move without changing the original sentence. Parole review can occur without release. A supervision begin date, by contrast, is strong evidence that imprisonment ended into parole, probation, or mandatory reentry supervision. It is still not final discharge.
| KOOL label | Question it answers | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Expected TTS | Estimated expected time to serve | Actual exit time |
| Minimum Expiration / Good Time | Computed minimum with applicable credits | That credits will remain unchanged |
| Parole Eligibility | When review may occur | That parole was granted |
| Maximum Expiration | Sentence endpoint without qualifying reduction | The likely day of physical release |
| Proposed Release Date | A contemplated parole date | Completed release processing |
| Supervision Begin Date | Start of KDOC community supervision | Final sentence discharge |
KDOC says KOOL information is entered and updated daily, but information newer than 120 days may not be finalized. Record the date on which the field was viewed. Very recent changes should be checked with the institution, VINE, the court, or a formal KDOC record.
Perry County Jail Release Dates
Kentucky River Regional Jail holds pretrial detainees, locally sentenced people, and some state inmates. A pretrial detainee often has no fixed release date because bond action, a court hearing, dismissal, transfer, or another order controls the next step. A locally sentenced person may have an expected completion date, but no public KRRJ online date tool was verified.
Call KRRJ with the exact booking details. Ask whether the person remains there, whether a sentence completion date exists in the releasable record, and whether any planned exit is community release or transfer. The Perry County court record supplies the legal basis, including judgment, jail-time credit, probation, revocation, or later order. Jail staff record the physical processing time.
A state inmate housed at KRRJ may remain under KDOC sentence computation. In that case, KOOL and an official KDOC computation matter even though the person sleeps in the regional jail. 501 KAR 2:060 addresses qualified state inmates housed in jails, but it does not create one universal KRRJ credit formula for every local or pretrial case.
Perry County Sentence Credit Rules
KRS 197.045 provides Kentucky sentence-credit authority. It addresses prior-confinement credit under KRS 532.120 and credits under stated educational, program, good-behavior, and meritorious conditions. DOC may award good-behavior credit up to ten days per month. Credits can be denied or forfeited for violations, and separate rules affect consecutive sentences and some offender classes.
No safe calculation starts by subtracting one standard number of days from every sentence. The conviction, offense date, sentence structure, earned programs, disciplinary history, prior custody credit, and statutory exclusions can all change the result. Obtain the current official time computation for a person-specific answer.
Credit is not the same as parole. A credit may change a computed expiration date. Parole permits supervised release after a Board process. Mandatory reentry supervision under KRS 439.3406 is another community status before projected completion for qualifying people. The Perry County parole and probation page explains how to verify that continuing supervision.
Note: Label a projected date with the date it was viewed, since later credits, penalties, orders, or corrections can move it.
Perry County Violent-Offender Dates
The current KRS 439.3401, effective July 15, 2026, contains Kentucky’s violent-offender restrictions. A violent offender serving a term of years within the statute generally must serve at least 85 percent before probation, shock probation, parole, conditional discharge, or other early release. The current law also limits available credit for covered people as stated in subsection five.
The rule does not apply to every Kentucky felony. The statutory definition, offense, sentence, and offense date all matter. Life-sentence categories have distinct twenty-year provisions, and expressly parole-ineligible sentences remain different. Avoid applying the percentage from an offense name alone. Read the current statute and the individual KOOL Parole Eligibility Date, then confirm an unusual computation with KDOC or the Parole Board.
A parole eligibility date remains a chance for review. Board action can defer consideration, direct a serve-out, or set a proposed date. None of those events alone supplies the time of actual release from the institution.
The Kentucky Parole Board schedule can confirm that review is planned, but it is not a sentence calculator. KOOL’s parole table may later show the hearing date, action, months deferred, next eligibility date, and a proposed release date. Read that row beside the sentence fields. A deferment moves the next review point without rewriting maximum expiration. A serve-out result differs from a proposal. When public fields remain unclear, request the signed Board decision or official KDOC computation instead of inferring an outcome from the hearing list.
Perry County Release Date Changes
A projected date is a moving result of law, sentence data, credits, and agency action. Even a well-matched KOOL entry can change after a court corrects jail credit or DOC posts a disciplinary loss. A hold from another authority can also change where the person goes when one custody term ends.
| Change | Possible effect | Best source |
|---|---|---|
| Credit earned | Moves a qualifying computed date earlier | KDOC time computation |
| Credit denied or forfeited | Moves the computed date later | KDOC disciplinary and sentence record |
| Jail-credit correction | Recalculates time already served | Court order and KDOC computation |
| Consecutive sentence | Extends or restructures the timeline | Judgment and sentence calculation |
| Parole Board action | Grants, defers, or changes a proposed path | Board decision and KOOL |
| Detainer or hold | May send the person to another authority | Custody record and receiving agency |
When records disagree, ask whether they describe the same event. A court sentence date, parole eligibility date, minimum expiration, proposed date, physical exit, and supervision begin date can differ without error. Place each on a short event timeline.
Why Perry County Dates Differ
Perry County readers may encounter an unusual number of date labels because KRRJ is a regional jail and Kentucky publicly exposes detailed state sentence fields. A KRRJ booking may close through transfer rather than community release. KOOL may then display a state projected date, minimum expiration, parole eligibility, maximum expiration, and Board proposal for the same person.
Read the labels in order. First identify custody and sentence authority. Next separate a computed date from a Board date. Then determine whether physical release occurred. Finally check whether community supervision began and whether it has ended. This sequence answers far more than a single countdown.
The Perry County VINELink release check can add an event alert, but it should be verified with KRRJ or KDOC. For a durable answer, request the official time computation or release record from the agency that owns the sentence.
Perry County Actual Release Proof
After the projected date passes, look for actual-event evidence. For KRRJ, ask for the booking release date, time, category, and receiving agency if the event was a transfer. For KDOC, check whether the record moved to a community status with a supervision begin date and request the release record when needed. VINE can supply a reported release date, while the court explains the legal authority.
A person can leave one facility without entering the community. A transfer to KDOC, another jail, federal custody, or immigration custody ends one location but not confinement. Similarly, parole or mandatory reentry supervision ends imprisonment while the sentence continues in the community. Final discharge is a later event.
The Perry County released-inmate record path uses jail, court, VINE, and state records to corroborate an exit. Use the originating office for final confirmation, especially when a date changed close to the expected release.
