Find KRRJ Release Records

KRRJ Release Destinations

Kentucky River Regional Jail is a regional/local adult jail in Hazard and the only verified adult detention facility physically located in Perry County. It holds a mixed population. That can include people awaiting court, people serving local terms, and some state inmates housed through Kentucky arrangements. As a result, the end of a KRRJ booking does not always mean the person walked free. The destination and release category are crucial parts of the record.

A community release may follow bond, dismissal, a court order, time served, probation, shock probation, or expiration of a local sentence. A transfer to the Kentucky Department of Corrections or another county jail means custody continued. A warrant or detainer can place the person with another authority. A detainer is a request from another agency to hold or receive someone. Hospitalization, death, or another administrative event can also close or change a booking without a community release.

The key question is not simply whether the person is still listed at KRRJ. Ask where the person went. An actual release date and time, the recorded category, and any receiving agency provide a far stronger answer.

Confirm a KRRJ Release

The official Perry County jail page does not provide a verified online 24-hour or 72-hour release list. It does publish direct lines for administration, booking, and inmate information. Begin with enough detail to isolate one booking. A full committed name, booking number, admission date, and arresting agency reduce the risk of confusing people who share a name.

1. Call the Kentucky River Regional Jail booking or inmate-information line and identify the exact person and booking.
2. Ask whether that booking ended in community release or transfer, then request the actual date, time, category, and destination shown.
3. Check Kentucky VINE for the reporting agency and released date. A VINE exit from one record does not rule out another custody record.
4. If state custody is possible, search Kentucky Offender Online Lookup for the current KDOC status and location.
5. Compare the jail event with the signed Perry County court order or disposition when the release was court driven.

The broader Perry County released inmate search explains how local jail, state prison, court, federal, and immigration records fit together. Use the system tied to the custody that actually ended.

KRRJ Release Record Contacts

Different KRRJ telephone lines serve different needs. Booking and inmate information are the practical same-day channels. Administration is the route for questions about the jail's formal record process or plans to deliver a request. No official source reviewed names a records custodian, publishes an email delivery route, or gives a reliable response estimate. Call before traveling or assuming that a record can be sent electronically.

When calling, frame the request around one event: “Did this booking end in a community release, or was the person transferred? What actual date and time, release category, and receiving agency does the record show?” That wording seeks the facts needed to interpret the exit.

Neither the current county page nor the research materials publish lobby hours, release-processing hours, an exit door, family waiting rules, or weekend procedures. Confirm any visit or pickup plan directly with KRRJ.

Requesting KRRJ Release Records

KRRJ links a Kentucky standardized open-records request form from its official page. A request should describe the booking precisely and ask for the facts that show what happened at the end. Useful identifiers include the person's full committed name, aliases if known, booking or jail ID, admission date, and committing agency. Kentucky open-records law allows an agency to withhold exempt material or redact protected details, so request the releasable portion rather than assuming every page will be produced.

The requested record can include the actual release date and time, release type or disposition, destination or receiving agency, bond data if maintained, booking photograph, and any releasable authorization, transfer entry, or property receipt needed to interpret the event. Charges alone do not prove the outcome. Ask that each document be tied to the same booking number.

The standardized KRRJ records form asks for requester and delivery details, a description of the records, and the desired inspection or copy format.

The form gives a durable path when a phone answer is not enough, but the current jail page does not publish a per-page price, photo fee, or retention schedule. Administration should confirm the delivery method and any applicable cost before submission.

KRRJ Regional Release Context

KRRJ is a regional jail authority, not merely a city lockup or a Perry-only roster. Kentucky regional-jail arrangements allow detention services to span local boundaries, while local jails can also house qualified state inmates. Those layers explain why the committing agency and destination matter. A person booked in Hazard may have a case tied to another participating jurisdiction, and a person housed locally may later enter KDOC custody without any gap in confinement.

Current and older sources do not agree on every county participating in the authority. Commercial pages add conflicting claims. The safe, accurate description is that Perry County hosts KRRJ and that the facility operates as a regional/local adult jail. Ask KRRJ which agency committed the person instead of assuming jurisdiction from the building address.

The official Perry County KRRJ page lists the facility and its contact routes.

This official page is also notable for what it does not show: there is no labeled rolling release feed, public app, or historical booking-photo archive to substitute for a direct inquiry.

KRRJ Custody and Capacity

The current Perry County page states that Kentucky River Regional Jail has 150 beds. Capacity describes the facility, not the number of people presently confined or released. KRRJ can hold pretrial detainees, locally sentenced people, and some state inmates. A pretrial detainee may leave after bond or a court order. A locally sentenced person may leave after time served, probation, or sentence expiration. A state inmate may transfer deeper into the KDOC system or eventually leave under a state release framework.

Do not use the bed count to infer present population, processing speed, or release timing. Those figures were not published in the official sources reviewed.

KRRJ Release Evidence Paths

A court record can explain why confinement ended. Perry County District Court may contain an initial criminal case, bond changes, dismissal, plea, sentence, or jail-time credit. A felony matter may move to Circuit Court after indictment. The signed order is stronger than a short docket label, although it may not state the exact time KRRJ physically processed the exit.

KOOL serves a different purpose. It covers Kentucky corrections records and can show an active inmate, parole, probation, or mandatory reentry supervision status. Mandatory reentry supervision is a supervised transition near the end of certain state sentences. KOOL can also display supervision dates, a current location, and sentence fields. It does not replace the KRRJ booking/release record for a local jail event.

Release

An exit from the reporting custody record, which may or may not mean freedom from every authority.

Transfer

A move between custodial agencies with confinement continuing.

Discharge

The end of the correctional sentence or supervision obligation, not merely departure from a jail building.

Detainer

A request that another agency hold or receive the person.

For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE detainee locator. Neither system is a KRRJ release list, but each can identify custody that continued after the local booking closed.

KRRJ Release Day Details

No reliable official source states which KRRJ door is used for release, how personal property is returned, where family may wait, or whether transportation is offered. Release hours and weekend or holiday processing practices are also unpublished. These details can change with staffing, court orders, transport, medical needs, and holds.

Call booking for a person-specific status and administration for facility procedures. Do not arrive based on an estimated court time alone. A judge's order can authorize release while jail staff still must verify holds, complete records, return property, and process the physical exit.

Note: Confirm same-day logistics directly with KRRJ because no official public schedule promises a release hour, pickup point, waiting area, or transportation service.
