Montgomery County Regional Jail Records

Montgomery Release Destinations

Montgomery County Regional Jail is a regional jail in Mount Sterling and a documented contractor for Menifee County prisoners. Since Menifee's jail is closed, the county of the criminal case and the county of physical confinement may differ. Montgomery creates its booking and custody-event records; the Menifee Circuit Clerk maintains the Menifee case file.

An exit can mean release to the community after bond, time served, dismissal, or another court authority. It can also mean a transfer to Rowan, Powell, Three Forks, KDOC, or another lawful custodian. The destination and authority fields, if maintained, settle that distinction better than absence from a public screen.

The 2024 legislative snapshot listed Montgomery among four facilities holding Menifee-responsible prisoners and reported a $40 daily rate on that date. Treat that as dated proof of the network, not a current rate, current count, or promise that Montgomery houses every Menifee prisoner.

Check Montgomery Current Custody

The Montgomery JailTracker is the official current-custody lead identified by the research. No authoritative Montgomery recent-release archive, release timing policy, photograph rule, or retention statement was found. The page is therefore intentionally text-only because both Montgomery manifest captures failed or were flagged.

1. Search Montgomery's live JailTracker and compare identifiers carefully.
2. If no match appears, check Rowan, Powell, and Three Forks because Menifee custody is distributed.
3. Search Kentucky VINE and read whether the event says release, transfer, or another status.
4. Read the Menifee case in KYeCourts for bond and court authority.
5. Ask Montgomery for the physical release or transfer entry.

A judge's order can authorize release without proving the minute Montgomery completed processing. VINE can report a date and notification event, but it is not the certified jail record. Use the three sources together.

Montgomery Records and Contact

Official county information identifies Jailer Ian Roberts at 751 Chenault Lane, Mount Sterling, Kentucky 40353. The main phone is 859-498-8747 and fax is 859-498-8748. No verified public release desk hours were found, so call before visiting or planning a pickup.

A focused request should name the person and provide a booking date range, Menifee case number, or other identifier. Ask for the booking or commitment record and the entry showing date and time, release or transfer type, authority, destination if recorded, and booking photograph. Do not demand a custom explanation that the agency does not already keep.

Montgomery Release Record Fields

A useful custody record can connect identity, booking, and exit. Research did not establish that Montgomery publishes or retains every possible field, so these are fields to request rather than promised output.

If the jail withholds part of a record, ask for nonexempt portions after lawful redaction. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, privacy, investigative, and other restrictions can affect disclosure.

Open Records for Montgomery

KRS 61.872 provides a route for Kentucky residents to request existing agency records. A signed application may include the requester's legibly printed name, residency basis, and a narrow record description. Delivery can be by the methods accepted under Kentucky law to the official custodian.

KRS 61.880 ordinarily requires a written decision within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. A denial must identify and explain the exception. Records in storage or active use may take longer if the agency gives a detailed reason and earliest available date. No Montgomery-specific release-record fee was verified, so ask about copy and postage cost before ordering.

Release

The end of Montgomery custody, which may or may not lead directly into the community.

Transfer

Movement to another jail or agency while legal custody continues.

Commitment

Authority directing confinement or movement under a court judgment.

Detainer

Another agency's authority that may affect the destination at exit.

Menifee's Four-Facility Pattern

Menifee's closed jail changes every location check. A 2024 snapshot found 38 county-responsible prisoners divided among Rowan, Montgomery, Powell, and Lee County through Three Forks. Search all four rather than treating one portal miss as a release. Contract use can change, so Jailer Eddie Maze at 606-359-0861 is the local contact when placement cannot be identified from records.

If Montgomery transferred a felony commitment to KDOC, use KOOL for the state record. KOOL does not cover every short county-jail stay. If the court ordered release, obtain the court copy through the judicial records route, then pair it with the Montgomery processing entry.

No official Montgomery exit time, waiting area, property-return practice, or pickup instruction was found. Call the actual jail before travel. The Menifee County released inmate lookup explains how the entire custody network fits together.

Interpret Montgomery Exit Records

A Montgomery entry describes one custody episode. Bond, time served, dismissal, or a court order may end confinement. Transfer to another contractor, KDOC, or another agency means custody continues. If the entry names a destination, contact that custodian before calling the event community release.

The Menifee docket can establish court authority but may not show the minute Montgomery completed processing. VINE can show status and an event date, but duplicate jail and DOC records are possible. The strongest account pairs Montgomery's entry with the court file and relevant VINE or KDOC result.

Ask for booking identifier, booking time, release or transfer time, type or authority, destination if recorded, and photograph. Montgomery was not shown to publish every field. A precise request avoids demanding a custom report.

Menifee Court Copy Route

The Menifee Circuit Clerk is the local source for orders, judgments, and dispositions. Clerk Kelly Botts is at 12 Main Street, P.O. Box 172, Frenchburg, KY 40322. The phone is 606-768-2461, fax is 606-768-2462, and hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Court files follow the judicial process, not the county-agency open-record route. Give the party name, case number if known, and requested order or date range. Sealing, expungement, or juvenile confidentiality may limit visibility. Missing data does not establish that no booking existed.

Montgomery Pickup Verification

No source supplied a routine Montgomery release hour, exit point, property-return rule, waiting place, or holiday procedure. Call 859-498-8747 before travel. Confirm identity, placement, and whether processing is complete. If Montgomery reports a transfer, obtain the receiving facility first.

When location is unknown, Jailer Eddie Maze at 606-359-0861 is the local contact. The actual housing jail remains custodian of its own exit entry.

Audit Montgomery Release Evidence

When the public roster no longer shows a person, preserve the sequence of evidence. Record the facility searched, name spelling, and date of the check. Then search the other Menifee contract facilities. A move among contractors can close one entry while custody continues elsewhere. Kentucky VINE can bridge local systems, but its event must be read as displayed and confirmed with the office that created the record.

A useful request identifies the person, approximate booking range, Menifee case number when known, and the Montgomery booking. Ask for the existing booking or commitment record and the entry sufficient to show release or transfer. Include the effective date and time, authority or type, and destination if recorded. An agency need not create a new list, answer a question, or preserve material beyond its schedule.

KRS 61.880 ordinarily calls for a written decision within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. A denial should cite and explain the exception. Stored records may take longer when the agency gives a detailed reason and earliest available date. Copy and postage charges may apply. No facility-specific release-record price or retention promise was verified.

Privacy, investigation, juvenile, sealed, expunged, security, and other restrictions can affect production. Ask the office to redact exempt material and supply the remainder. The housing jail keeps its custody event, the Menifee clerk keeps court material, and KDOC keeps state sentence and supervision records.

No Montgomery image is used because its manifest captures failed or were flagged. No unverified release archive, timing rule, photograph policy, or retention statement replaces a direct facility response.

Cross-Check Montgomery Dates

Compare Montgomery's booking date, effective exit time, and the Menifee order date. They may document separate steps. A court order can precede jail processing, and a transfer may follow without community release. VINE can update on a different schedule. Keep each date tied to its source. If results conflict, contact Montgomery and the clerk rather than guessing which record controls. A later KDOC result can explain a state transfer, while absence from KOOL does not resolve a short local stay.

Montgomery Photograph Requests

Ask Montgomery for a booking photograph only as an existing facility record tied to the identified booking. The research found no separate photograph policy, released-photo gallery, fixed fee, or retention statement. Disclosure can depend on privacy, investigation, juvenile, sealing, expungement, and other restrictions. A photograph does not establish present custody or the legal reason for release. Pair any image with the custody entry and court record rather than treating the image as a status record.
