Contact Knox Record Offices

Knox County Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office responsible for the record or action.

Use the subject of the request to select the next path:

  • For a booking photo or arrest record, use the home page's official-source and request steps, then contact the sheriff or jailer as appropriate.
  • For warrant status or a post-release court issue, use the warrant workflow and verify with the sheriff, clerk, or counsel.
  • For someone just arrested, check 24 Hour Arrests and the Arrest Log.
  • For current custody or an alert about release or transfer, check the official jail roster and VINELink Check.
  • For a Knox County jail booking, contact the detention center above; no separate facility pages exist.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner's record or photo, search the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL system.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator that fits the custody type.
