The Hardin County Detention Center is the first contact for a jail custody event, release sheet, or booking photograph. The sheriff may hold an arrest or incident report, while the court clerk holds the case file and signed order.

Use the route that matches the question:
- For a released person or release record, use the home search and records path.
- For supervision, consult Post-Release Supervision.
- For a same-day check, see 24-Hour Releases.
- For a sentence date or alert, use Release Date Lookup or VINE Inmate Check.
- For a state offender, search Kentucky’s KOOL system by DOC or PID number.
- For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE rather than the county jail.
Kentucky Department of Corrections records and supervision questions should go to KDOC rather than Hardin County. District 5 serves Hardin County probation and parole matters at 207 South Mulberry Street, Elizabethtown, KY 42701, by phone at 270-766-5073 or 270-766-5074. Use a DOC or PID number when available.
VINE is the official notification route for participating county and state custody records. For a Hardin County release question, use VINELink or call 1-800-511-1670. A person may have both a local jail record and a KDOC record, so register for both when both appear.
