Checklist: What to Include When Requesting Inmate Records from Bullitt County Detention Center

Start with the inmate's full name. Bullitt County Detention Center requires this on all written requests - leave it out, and your request won't get processed.

Include the inmate's date of birth. This helps staff match your request to the right person, especially when multiple inmates share similar names.

Using the standardized open-record request form? Fill it out completely and make sure it's readable - type it or print legibly.

Include your printed name and signature on the form. An email signature line or typed name alone won't cut it.

Be specific about what you want. Vague requests slow things down - staff can only provide records that match what you actually described.

Include a current mailing address. The facility's email is for receiving requests only - they won't answer questions or send status updates that way. Your mailing address is how they'll follow up.

Send your request to the right person the first time. Bullitt County Detention Center has two separate custodians: one handles general public records, and another handles inmate medical records.

For public records (not medical), contact Major Dinarte Pimentel at Bullitt County Detention Center. The facility lists a mailing address, email, and phone number for this custodian on its open records page.

For inmate medical records, send your request to Bullitt County Detention Center, Attn: QCHC Regional Director of Nursing. The facility provides a separate mailing address, email, and phone number for medical-record requests.

Pick a delivery method that works for you. Bullitt County Detention Center accepts requests by email or mail anytime. Hand-delivery is also an option during regular business hours.

Dropping off your request in person? The facility is open to the public Monday through Friday, 0800–1600 hours, excluding holidays. Outside those hours, email or mail your request instead.
