Trimble County Inmate Search

Trimble arrestees are held at the Carroll County Detention Center in Carrollton (502-732-9499). Search the inmate roster (mugshot release is covered below), check the birth date, and use VINELink for custody alerts and KYeCourts guest portal for court dates.

1. Where does a person arrested near Bedford go?

Across the county line to the Carroll County Detention Center, 800 Clay Street, Carrollton, KY 41008, 502-732-9499, because Trimble has no jail. The jail is Carroll County's, so mention the Bedford charge and give the legal name plus birthday. The Trimble sheriff (502-255-7138) can confirm whether an arrest occurred.

2. Does the Carrollton roster show Bedford arrests?

Yes; the inmate roster lists everyone in the building whatever county filed charges. Compare birth date and arresting agency so a Carroll namesake isn't confused with your relative. Fresh bookings can lag, so phone 502-732-9499 when searches come up blank. VINELink sends release notices, and KYeCourts guest portal shows Bedford hearings.

3. How can relatives meet a Bedford arrestee in Carrollton?

Carroll County's rules govern, so call 502-732-9499 about visiting days, registration and acceptable ID. Children must be accompanied by a guardian, every guest goes through screening, and clothing rules apply. Check-in can take extra time, so arrive early. Our visitation guide outlines usual practices.

4. How do I bail out a Trimble inmate?

Learn the amount from Carrollton, then pay in Bedford at the courthouse, where the circuit clerk (502-255-3213) accepts currency, checks, money orders or cards. The Clay Street jail lets the person go once the clerk notifies the jail. Plenty of people leave on recognizance after pretrial screening. See our bail guide and money guide.

5. How can I add funds for a Trimble inmate?

Carroll County's deposit system applies; ask 502-732-9499 about methods, limits and fees. Type the name as it was entered at booking. The balance buys canteen goods and calls, and leftover cash is refunded at discharge. Our money guide and commissary guide explain.

6. Can a Bedford arrestee held in Carrollton phone home?

Yes, using prepaid accounts relatives can load; jail staff explain pricing. All calls except attorney calls are recorded and prosecutors can obtain them, so keep case talk for defense counsel. See our phone guide and messaging guide.

7. What address do letters for a Trimble prisoner use?

Put the booked legal name above 800 Clay Street, Carrollton, KY 41008, with your return address; nothing goes to Bedford. Staff open everything besides legal correspondence and refuse banned items. Our mail guide covers photos, or call 502-732-9499.

8. Whom do I call about a Trimble prisoner's health or property?

Phone Carrollton at 502-732-9499, request a shift supervisor, explain what's wrong and identify the inmate by name and birthday. Booking property is kept in Carrollton as well.

9. Might a Bedford inmate held in Carrollton have a warrant in Indiana?

Yes. Milton sits on the Ohio across from Madison, Indiana, and families here often have cases in Oldham or Henry, or in Indiana. The sheriff's office looks up Trimble warrants at 502-255-7138, and a statewide name search on the courts' free guest case search covers every Kentucky county; Indiana's courts handle cases there.

After release, if a warrant is left open, counsel can choose when the person reports to the Carrollton jail, bond request in hand. The circuit clerk's office at 30 Highway 42 East, Bedford, KY 40006, answers at 502-255-3213.

10. What happens to juveniles arrested around Bedford?

Minors aren't booked into the Carrollton adult jail and stay separated from adults. A detained youth must appear before a judge within 48 hours, weekends and holidays not counted (KRS 610.265). The Department of Juvenile Justice (502-573-2738) decides placement, and Trimble District Court keeps the case.

↑ Back to the question list

11. How can I get a Trimble arrest mugshot?

Since booking happens in Carrollton, deliver to that detention center an open records letter identifying the arrestee, giving the arrest date, and requesting the mugshot. A reporter at a newspaper or other news media outlet may direct the same letter to the Trimble sheriff. Immigration agency photos must be pursued through the ICE FOIA page; the Marshals publish federal booking images solely while hunting fugitives.

↑ Back to the question list

12. Could federal prisoners from Bedford be held in Carrollton?

They could, depending on where the Marshals place them. Trimble federal cases go to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, 330 West Broadway, Frankfort, KY 40601, 502-223-5225; a magistrate's detention hearing settles pretrial custody, after which the U.S. Marshals choose a facility. The federal inmate locator lists sentenced federal prisoners. Bedford's closest Marshals office sits in Frankfort, phone 502-223-5608.

13. If immigration agents lodge a detainer on someone from Bedford, what happens?

Bedford arrests are boarded in Carrollton, and the Clay Street jail (502-732-9499) enters immigration detainers on them. ICE's Louisville office is at 502-625-6202.

  1. ICE sends an I-247A to the Carrollton jail.

  3. Federal officers have to pick them up before the clock runs out.
  4. Without an ICE pickup, Carroll's jail releases the person.
