This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that created the record.
Choose the Record Holder
Monroe County’s jail closed in 2016, so one office does not hold every part of a current case. Contact Barren County Detention Center for the physical booking, custody exit, transfer entry, or booking photograph. Use Monroe offices for arrest, transport, and court records. For state custody or discharge records, contact the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
