Hart County keeps them at the Hart County Jail on AA Whitman Lane in Munfordville. Phone 270-524-2571 and give the full legal name. Just after an arrest, the sheriff (270-524-2341) or the Munfordville or Horse Cave police can confirm whether booking has finished. Intake paperwork, fingerprints and a medical screening come first.

Yes. Search the inmate roster by last name, then match the birth date. VINELink offers release alerts and KYeCourts guest search lists court dates. New arrests might not show immediately.

Ask the jail at 270-524-2571 about visiting days, how to register, which ID is accepted and whether video sessions are offered. Anyone under 18 needs an accompanying parent or guardian, and each guest is searched before entering. Lockdowns can cancel a session, so call the morning of the visit. Our visitation guide has more.

Confirm the amount with 270-524-2571. The money itself goes to the East South Street clerk (270-524-5181), who accepts currency, cashier's checks, money orders or plastic; the jail doesn't take bond. Carry photo identification, and hold on to the clerk's receipt. Our bail guide and money guide explain more.

Call 270-524-2571 for accepted methods, limits and fees, and use the legal booking name. After fees, funds pay for commissary items such as snacks and hygiene goods, plus phone time. Money left over at release is returned. See our money guide and commissary guide.

Inmates call out using prepaid accounts; ask 270-524-2571 about setup and rates. Each conversation is captured and may be handed to prosecutors, so the charges are off-limits as a topic. Our phone guide and messaging guide cover more.

The same office handles questions about personal property.

Never in the adult jail. Detained youths are owed a court hearing inside 48 hours, setting weekends and holidays aside (KRS 610.265). The Department of Juvenile Justice (502-573-2738) decides placement, and Hart District Court hears the case.

Yes, as a public record. Hand-deliver or post an open records request to AA Whitman Lane identifying the inmate and arrest date, and specify the mugshot. News media may direct requests to the sheriff as an alternative. ICE photos need the ICE FOIA page. Federal mugshots are released only by the Marshals when looking for a fugitive.

It may. The Munfordville jail houses a federal detainee only when the U.S. Marshals buy bed space there. Federal cases from Hart County are heard at the U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky, 241 East Main Avenue, Bowling Green, KY 42101, 270-393-2500, and pretrial custody there turns on a detention hearing. Sentenced federal inmates can be traced in the BOP locator. Munfordville families can phone the Marshals in Bowling Green (270-901-2108).

The Munfordville jail (270-524-2571) can tell you if ICE has a hold lodged; the agency's Kentucky office is in Louisville (502-625-6202), and Bowling Green marshals answer at 270-901-2108.

1. ICE issues an I-247A detainer to the jail.
2. When Hart's charges stop justifying custody, the jail may keep them another 48 hours at most after release would have come.
3. ICE is responsible to pick up the inmate within that span.
4. If not, the jail releases them.
5. The ICE locator lists people in ICE custody.

Neither was at its limit in the Oct. 22, 2026 weekly report from Kentucky's corrections department: the main jail listed 81 inmates for 97 beds and the restricted custody unit 36 for 83. Reach either through 270-524-2571. The judicial center clerk (270-524-5181) posts Zoom links for each judge's docket on the court's county page, so family can sometimes watch a hearing remotely. For bond, bring currency or bank-issued paper such as a cashier's check; cards work for a fee, and whether a hometown personal check is taken is left to the office.

Release paperwork starts after the bail payment reaches the jail. Personal items and any account balance are handed back, less fees. Ask 270-524-2571 for an estimate and arrange transportation from Munfordville.
