Rowan Releases for Menifee Cases
Rowan County Detention Center is a county detention center and a documented Menifee contractor. Menifee has no operating local jail, so a Menifee arrest can produce a Rowan booking. Rowan then controls its physical custody entries even though the Menifee Circuit Clerk controls the local court file.
A Rowan exit may lead to the community after bond, time served, dismissal, or another court order. It may instead record movement to a second contract jail or Kentucky Department of Corrections. The words on the record matter. “Transfer” should not be restated as community release, and a current-roster disappearance should not be assigned a release reason without proof.
The official Rowan detention-center page provides the facility contact and confirms the local source readers should use.
Confirm a Rowan Release
The Rowan JailTracker is a present-custody lead. Research did not verify a separate Rowan recent-release archive, published update schedule, or released-record retention period. Use the roster to answer whether the person appears now, not to supply a reason for an earlier exit.
- Search the Rowan JailTracker using the identifiers exposed by the live interface.
- If no current entry appears, check all other documented Menifee housing jails.
- Search Kentucky VINE and read the custody event precisely.
- Review KYeCourts for the Menifee order, bond, judgment, or disposition.
- Contact Rowan for the booking's release or transfer entry.
VINE can bridge local jail systems and may report a date when the person is not in custody. It is not a certified Rowan record. The court docket can show legal authority, but the jail entry is the better source for the processed time and destination if those fields were recorded.
Rowan Records and Contact
Rowan County Detention Center is at 1075 S. Tolliver Road, Morehead, Kentucky 40351. The main number is 606-784-8457. The official contact named in the research is Jailer Wes Coldiron, reachable at wes.coldiron@rcky.us. Call before travel because no authoritative exit hours, pickup point, or weekend release practice was found.

For a record, identify the person, approximate booking date, Menifee case number if known, and requested existing material. Ask for the booking or commitment record and the entry showing the release or transfer date and time, authority or type, destination if recorded, and booking photograph. Rowan need not create a narrative or promise fields it does not maintain.
Rowan Bond-Out Details
The Rowan inmate-services page describes several bond forms and says Rowan charges a $50 booking fee plus a $5 jail bond fee on bond-out. These are Rowan facility facts. They do not become a Menifee-wide or four-jail fee schedule simply because the person has a Menifee case.
| Rowan item | Published amount |
|---|---|
| Booking fee | $50 |
| Jail bond fee | $5 |
Menifee's court page separately says cash is required for bond and photo identification is needed to post or pick it up. A bond release ends confinement for that booking while the criminal case may continue. It does not erase charges or establish the final case outcome.
Request Rowan Custody Entries
Kentucky's Open Records Act provides Kentucky residents a route to existing agency records. A signed written application may state the residency basis, identify the requester, and describe the record. KRS 61.880 ordinarily calls for a written response within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays.
Ask narrowly and permit lawful redaction. Privacy, active-investigation, juvenile, sealed, expunged, and other rules may limit disclosure. Copy and postage charges can apply, but no Rowan release-record fee or retention term was verified beyond the published bond-out charges. If Rowan directs the requester elsewhere, note which agency actually has the custody entry.
- Booking record
- The facility record opening the custody episode.
- Release entry
- The recorded end of Rowan custody and its authority or type, if maintained.
- Transfer entry
- A movement to another custodian rather than release to the community.
- Court order
- The judicial authority, obtained from the clerk, which may precede physical processing.
Four-Jail Menifee Network
A 2024 legislative snapshot placed Menifee-responsible prisoners in Rowan, Montgomery, Powell, and Lee County through Three Forks. The source counted 38 people on that date and listed Rowan's daily rate as $42. That is historical evidence of the distributed arrangement, not a current population count, present rate, or assurance that a specific person is in Rowan.
Cost, bed space, classification, and legal authority can change placement. Search the full network if Rowan has no current match. When a felony commitment moves into state authority, use KOOL and KDOC records. When the custody event is local, Rowan remains the first source for its entry and the Menifee clerk remains the source for the court order.
The Menifee County release search ties the four facilities, VINE, KDOC, and court records together. Always verify the actual jail before making travel or pickup plans.
Read the Rowan Exit Type
The label should match the authority. Bond ends Rowan confinement while the Menifee case continues. Time served means credited confinement has been completed. A dismissal, probation, shock probation, or other order may lead to the community. None should be inferred from a missing roster entry.
Transfer language points elsewhere. Rowan may send a person to another jail, KDOC, or a different agency. Follow the named custodian. KOOL is relevant after a KDOC commitment but does not cover each short Rowan stay. A KDOC appearance following Rowan removal signals continued state custody.
Ask Rowan whether the booking ended by release or transfer, the effective time, recorded authority, and destination. Compare that response with the Menifee court order and VINE event. Use only the narrow description the sources support.
Menifee Court and Rowan Records
Rowan keeps the physical booking history. The Menifee Circuit Clerk keeps the case. Menifee agencies may keep separate arrest, commitment, or transport records. A complete trail can require focused requests to each custodian.
The clerk's office is at 12 Main Street, P.O. Box 172, Frenchburg, KY 40322. Clerk Kelly Botts can be reached at 606-768-2461. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Use the judicial route for orders and dispositions.
Visibility may change after sealing or expungement. A qualifying order can reach an arresting agency and local jail. Absence of a Rowan booking or Menifee result can reflect lawful record treatment rather than proof no episode occurred.
Plan a Rowan Pickup
No verified Rowan release hour, exit door, waiting area, property-return procedure, or weekend schedule was found. Call 606-784-8457 before travel. Confirm Rowan still holds the person and processing is complete. A court order, expected date, or alert is not a promise that the person is ready to leave.
A person thought to be in Rowan may have moved to another contractor. Search the other portals and call Jailer Eddie Maze at 606-359-0861 when location remains unclear.
Audit a Rowan Release Search
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 Rowan 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.
Rowan's booking and jail bond charges apply only when Rowan handled the bond-out. Do not assign them to another contractor. Confirm the facility and event before discussing cost.
Cross-Check Rowan Record Dates
Compare the Rowan booking date, the effective exit time, and the Menifee court order date before drawing a conclusion. They may describe different steps. A bond order can appear before release processing. A transfer entry can follow a court event without placing the person in the community. VINE may update on its own schedule. Keep each date attached to its source and describe only what that source establishes. If the dates conflict, contact Rowan and the clerk rather than selecting the most convenient result.
