Choose the Office That Holds the Record
Martin County custody questions cross several agencies. The county's ordinary detainees are generally held at Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville, while Martin criminal cases remain with the Martin County Court of Justice. Kentucky prison and supervision records belong to the Kentucky Department of Corrections. USP Big Sandy is federal and uses Bureau of Prisons records. Use the contact that matches the last known custody system and the kind of document needed.
For the most common tasks, use these paths:
- For a named person or an existing release record, the home page explains the full Martin County search and records-request sequence.
- For parole, probation, or a District 11 assignment, use the Post-Release Supervision guide.
- For same-day release information, see 24-Hour Releases, which explains that BSRDC does not publish a public recent-release feed.
- For a projected date or notification, consult Release Date Lookup and the VINE Inmate Check.
- For one institution, choose the matching facility page listed in the footer and use its local or federal route.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, search the official Kentucky Offender Online Lookup and call DOC Offender Information Services when a label needs clarification.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System, then contact the responsible federal agency.
