Pendleton County Inmate Search
A Falmouth arrest ends up on the inmate roster of the Bourbon County Regional Detention Center in Paris (859-987-2137), which holds Pendleton County arrestees; confirm the birth date there. Whether booking photos are released follows below, with VINELink for custody alerts and KYeCourts guest portal for court dates.
Where are Pendleton County inmates held?
They're held at the Bourbon County Regional Detention Center, 101 Legion Road, Paris, KY 40361, 859-987-2137. Pendleton operates no detention facility, so its arrestees ride to Paris in Bourbon County. Bourbon, Harrison, Nicholas and Robertson people sleep there too, so open the call by naming Pendleton before spelling the name and reading the birthday. The Pendleton sheriff (859-654-4511) can confirm whether an arrest happened.
↑ Back to the question listCan I find an inmate online?
Yes, through the inmate roster. Type the surname, and before trusting a hit, check that the birth year and the arresting county line up. New bookings can take time to post; call 859-987-2137 if no match appears. VINELink sends custody alerts, and KYeCourts guest portal shows court dates.
↑ Back to the question listWhat are the visiting rules at the Paris facility?
Legion Road's staff at 859-987-2137 can explain sign-up, hours and which identification passes. Children may come only beside a parent or guardian; adults pass through screening and a clothing standard. Visitors should build in extra minutes for check-in. Our visitation guide covers general rules.
↑ Back to the question listHow do I post bond?
Learn the figure from Paris, then drive to Ridgeway Avenue, where the circuit clerk (859-654-3347) will take currency, a check or a money order once you show identification. Some defendants owe nothing at all when the judge, after the pretrial report, releases them on a promise to appear. Read our bail guide and money guide.
↑ Back to the question listHow do I put funds on a commissary account?
Paris officers at 859-987-2137 walk families through the ways to deposit and any fees. Match the spelling on the booking record, or the money could post to someone else. The account buys snacks and minutes on the phone, and leftover cash goes home with the inmate. Our money guide and commissary guide explain more.
↑ Back to the question listCan an inmate held in Paris make phone calls?
Yes. Talk time is bought in advance; staff can quote rates and how relatives load an account. Recordings can land on a prosecutor's desk, so the facts of the arrest should wait for a conversation with counsel. See our phone guide and messaging guide.
↑ Back to the question listHow should I address letters?
Write the full booked name, then 101 Legion Road, Paris, KY 40361, and put your own address in the corner. Officers search each envelope, sparing only attorney letters, and bounce contraband back to the sender. Our mail guide covers photo rules, and 859-987-2137 answers questions.
↑ Back to the question listWhat if a Falmouth prisoner is sick or lost property?
Phone 859-987-2137 and request the sergeant running that shift; describe what's wrong and supply the inmate's complete name with birthday. Wallets, keys and phones taken at intake fall under the same desk. Attorneys at the Cynthiana Trial Office of the Department of Public Advocacy (59 East Ridge Road, Suite 2, Cynthiana, KY 41031; 833-254-2460) can raise urgent problems with the court. See our court page.
↑ Back to the question listHow can I check for a Pendleton warrant?
You won't find Kentucky warrants posted on the web. Missed dates sometimes surface on KYeCourts guest portal, and the sheriff (859-654-4511) can answer the rest. A lawyer can arrange a surrender and argue bail at the first appearance.
↑ Back to the question listWhere do arrested Pendleton minors go?
Juveniles are not held with adults in Paris. A detained youth gets a hearing within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays (KRS 610.265). The Department of Juvenile Justice (502-573-2738) arranges placement, and Pendleton District Court hears the case.
↑ Back to the question listCan I get a Pendleton County mugshot?
Yes. Direct an open records letter to Legion Road naming the arrestee and the booking day, specifying that a mugshot is requested. Local news media may ask the sheriff for theirs. An immigration photo takes a request on the ICE FOIA page; the Marshals publish federal booking photos for fugitive hunts and nothing else.
↑ Back to the question listDoes the Paris detention center hold federal prisoners?
It does, when the U.S. Marshals arrange to house federal detainees there. A federal charge from Pendleton goes to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, 35 West Fifth Street, Covington, KY 41011, 859-392-7925; a Covington magistrate holds the detention hearing that decides if the person stays locked up, and the Marshals pick the bed. After sentencing, check the federal inmate locator. Falmouth federal holds: try the Marshals' Covington office, 859-392-7918.
↑ Back to the question listHow does an ICE detainer work in Paris?
For a Pendleton prisoner, the Paris jail (859-987-2137) keeps any I-247A on file for its Pendleton prisoners; immigration questions beyond that go to ICE's Louisville field office at 502-625-6202. The usual sequence is listed below.
- ICE sends an I-247A detainer to the detention center.
- When state custody ends, the facility may hold the person up to 48 hours past that release.
- Agents have that window to pick the detainee up.
- If not, the person is released.
- Follow transfers on the ICE detainee locator.
How long after bail until release?
Release processing starts once bail posts. Belongings and unused account money come back less charges. Ask 859-987-2137 how long processing looks, and have a driver ready for the ride home to Falmouth.
↑ Back to the question listHow do I find a Pendleton inmate in state prison?
Check the Corrections KOOL lookup for the prison or leased jail bed, then our Kentucky prison directory for phone numbers. Paris may linger on the record for days after a move, so searching by the state number works best.
↑ Back to the question listWhich jails hold arrests from the neighboring counties?
Harrison County arrests go to the same Bourbon County Regional Detention Center in Paris, 859-987-2137, a jail that also takes people arrested in Robertson, Nicholas, Pendleton and Harrison. Bracken County prisoners are held at the Mason County Detention Center in Maysville, 606-564-3621. Grant County keeps the Grant County Detention Center in Williamstown, 859-824-5191. Kenton County books into the Kenton County Detention Center in Covington, 859-363-2400, and Campbell County into the Campbell County Detention Center in Newport, 859-431-4611.
