Overview
Looking for someone who may be at Laurel County Detention Center? Start with Kentucky's Offender Lookup (KOOL) for state custody listings or check a county/agency online roster. KOOL's search page advises entering as little information as needed, and warns that using the tool to harass an offender may be a criminal offense. For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator—federal records are separate from state systems. VINE (VINELink) is another solid option: it confirms custody status and lets you sign up for automated notifications by phone, text, email, or app when status changes. For best results, try full name, date of birth, and any system ID. No results? Double-check spelling, reset the form, or review KOOL's help tips.
