Official Hancock Custody and Records Contacts
Hancock custody work is divided among local offices and a contract jail in another county. Choose the contact by the record or action needed.

Its official site does not publish records hours or a dedicated release-record form, so call for current custodian and delivery instructions.

Use this office for state sentence calculations, KDOC release or discharge records, commitments, and supervision records. Its published instructions describe a five-business-day response framework for corrections records.
For the right online or agency route:
- To find a former detainee or request the local release record, begin with the Hancock County release search.
- For supervision after release, use Probation & Parole and the District 13 contacts.
- For a narrow recent-release window, see Jail Releases: 24 Hours; no official local feed was found, so the guide explains the fallback.
- For a future state date or alert, use Projected Release and VINELink Inmate Search.
- For the physical contract facility, use the Breckinridge County Detention Center page listed below.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, search KOOL and contact KDOC for the underlying state record.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator and confirm with the responsible federal agency.
