Kentucky's open records law includes a residency requirement. As of June 29, 2021, only Kentucky residents can request to inspect public records under KRS 61.872(3).
Once the detention center receives your request, they have five business days to respond. Weekends and legal holidays don't count toward that timeline.
Paper copies cost $0.10 per page for black-and-white. Want to keep costs down? Narrow your request to specific dates or document types.
If you just need to look at records without getting copies, you can schedule a free in-person review. The records custodian or another detention center employee will be present during your appointment.
