Knott County Jail Roster Access
No active official Knott County standalone jail roster was located in the sources reviewed. The official Perry County page for Kentucky River Regional Jail links its inmate search to Kentucky Offender Online Lookup, and research found the local KRRJ lookup offline. That means current Knott County jail custody cannot be treated like a live county JailTracker page with instant booking profiles. The first useful access channel for a new arrest is the regional jail itself.
Kentucky River Regional Jail serves Knott County detainees even though it is physically in Hazard. The jail page tells families to contact KRRJ first if someone is incarcerated there. Use the inmate information line at (606) 436-4032 for current custody, and use booking at (606) 436-1008 for a new arrest or intake question. The Knott County Sheriff's Office may be the arresting agency, but the sheriff site does not publish a detention division page, public roster, booking report, or mugshot gallery.
Search Knott County Inmate Records
The practical search order follows the record path. A very recent arrest is most likely to be confirmed by Kentucky River Regional Jail. A sentenced or transferred person is more likely to appear in KOOL. A release or transfer alert can be tracked through VINE. Court charges belong to Kentucky Court of Justice records, not the jail roster.
- Call KRRJ inmate information at (606) 436-4032 and ask whether the person is in current regional jail custody.
- For a new arrest, call KRRJ booking at (606) 436-1008 because intake data may not be in a statewide lookup yet.
- Search KOOL for Kentucky DOC custody, supervision, photo availability, location, and offender identifiers.
- Register or search VINELink for custody notices covering release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing events.
- For filed charges or court dates, use KCOJ dockets, KYeCourts guest access, or the Knott County Circuit Court Clerk.
DOC's KOOL notice says entries are updated daily, but offender data newer than 120 days may not have been finalized. That caveat is the reason phone confirmation remains important for same-day Knott County jail records.
Knott County KOOL Search Fields
Because no local KRRJ search form was available from an active official roster, the captured search-field inventory comes from KOOL. KOOL is statewide. It can help with Knott County inmate records after transfer, sentencing, supervision, or when the regional jail link routes there, but it is not a guaranteed real-time booking log.

That notice should be read before relying on KOOL for a new booking at Kentucky River Regional Jail.
Knott County Inmate Profile Fields
No official KRRJ public inmate profile could be inspected from an active roster, so the local field list must be described as a phone or records-request checklist. These are the facts a caller or requester may need for a Knott County inmate record, not a promise that every field is visible online.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Full name used by jail records. |
| Inmate ID number | Needed for KRRJ inmate mail. |
| Booking or intake date | When the person entered regional jail custody. |
| Arresting agency | Knott Sheriff, city police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency if available. |
| Charges | Booking charges, which may differ from filed court charges. |
| Bond or release conditions | Cash, surety, PR, no-bond, or hold status when confirmed. |
| Court date | May require KCOJ docket search or clerk confirmation. |
| Custody status | In custody, released, transferred, sentenced, or DOC status. |
| Mugshot | No confirmed public KRRJ roster photo was located in official sources. |
Knott County Custody Systems
Knott County inmate records split by custody type. County or regional jail records cover booking and short local custody. Kentucky DOC records cover sentenced state custody, supervision, and some jail or location data. Federal and immigration custody are outside the county jail system. A hold can also block release even when a local bond exists.
| Custody | Where to Look | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Current regional jail custody | KRRJ inmate information and booking lines | Same-day or recent Knott County bookings. |
| Sentenced or supervised Kentucky offender | Kentucky DOC KOOL | State prison, probation, parole, and statewide offender data. |
| Custody status alerts | VINELink and Kentucky VINE phone | Release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing notifications. |
| Federal inmate | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates incarcerated from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | Current ICE custody or CBP custody over 48 hours. |
Knott County Jail Facility
Kentucky River Regional Jail is the active jail facility serving Knott County detainees in the Facility Map. It is a regional jail, not a state prison. The official page lists separate numbers for administration, booking, and inmate information, and lists the facility as 150 beds. KRRJ also has a named open-records custodian for records that are not available online.
Kentucky River Regional Jail
200 Justice Drive
Hazard, KY 41701
(606) 436-4032 inmate information
Booking: (606) 436-1008; Administration: (606) 436-0622
Booking Process in Knott County
A Knott County arrest can be made by the sheriff, Kentucky State Police, a city police department, or another agency. The person is then transported to Kentucky River Regional Jail for acceptance, intake, identification, classification, and housing. KRS 71.040 says the jailer receives and keeps lawfully committed people until lawfully discharged, except when emergency medical attention is needed before delivery to jail.
KRRJ's official page says prisoners are separated by crimes committed, current risk assessment, and behavior. Booking charges are not the same as final court charges. The prosecutor may amend, reduce, dismiss, or supersede a booking charge after the court case begins. For charges filed after arrest, use the Kentucky Court of Justice systems and the Knott County Circuit Court Clerk.
Knott County Jail Visitation
Official KRRJ visitation days, video vendor, remote-visit rules, and visitor approval rules were not located in the official sources reviewed. The correct approach is to confirm visitation directly before traveling. Ask whether the person must be on an approved list, what photo ID is required, whether children may visit, whether attorney visits use a different process, and whether remote video is available.
| Visitation Topic | Official Status Located | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Public schedule | Not published in official sources reviewed | Call KRRJ before travel. |
| Video visits | Vendor not located | Ask inmate information for current options. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published in reviewed sources | Confirm rules before arriving. |
| Records inspection | 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday by arrangement | Use the open-records custodian, not the visitation desk. |
Mail and Inmate ID Numbers
KRRJ publishes an inmate mail format that requires the jail name, inmate name, inmate ID number, and the Justice Drive address. The facility also says to get a list of acceptable mail from the jail. Do not assume a scanned-mail vendor, publication rule, postcard-only rule, or package rule unless KRRJ confirms it. The inmate ID number is important because the official mail format names it.
| Mail Item | Format or Rule |
|---|---|
| Facility mail | Kentucky River Regional Jail, 200 Justice Drive, Hazard, KY 41701 |
| Inmate mail | Kentucky River Regional Jail, Inmate Name, Inmate ID #, 200 Justice Drive, Hazard, KY 41701 |
| Acceptable items | Get the current list from the facility. |
Request Knott County Jail Records
KRRJ records requests must be in writing under the jail policy. The custodian is Adam Dials, Assistant Administrator. Requests may be emailed to perryjailcd@ky.gov, mailed, or hand delivered to Kentucky River Regional Jail. The jail must respond within five business days of receipt. If more time is needed, the custodian must explain why. Email delivery has no charge unless large files require a flash drive and postage. Paper copies are $0.10 per page, and commercial requests are $0.25 per page plus possible personnel or attorney costs allowed by policy.
Note: Confirm custody before sending money, mail, or travel plans because recent bookings may not appear in KOOL right away.
