This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visits, or pull official booking records. Use the official contacts below for custody, records, court, warrant, state prison, federal, or immigration questions.
Where to Ask
Fayette County records are split by agency. The Fayette County Detention Center handles current local jail custody through LFUCG Community Corrections. LFUCG Open Records handles public-records requests for Community Corrections records. Kentucky courts handle case records after an arrest, while the sheriff remains the local warrant contact. State, federal, and immigration custody use separate locator systems.
Community Corrections and Fayette County Detention Center
600 Old Frankfort Cir.
Lexington, KY 40510

Phone: (859) 258-3240
Use the LFUCG open-records request page for Community Corrections records. Kentucky's public-records rule in KRS 61.872 is limited to Kentucky residents, and LFUCG requires the request to include a statement explaining how the requester is a Kentucky resident.

Fayette County Sheriff Warrants Division
District Court House, Fourth Floor
150 N. Limestone St.
Lexington, KY 40507
Phone: (859) 252-1771
The Sheriff's Office handles warrants and fugitives. Its public materials say warrant information may not be released by phone, and a person checking for a warrant on themselves is directed to appear in person.
Use the route that matches the record type:
- For someone in the local jail, start with jail inmate records and the Fayette County Detention Center phone line.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots, then LFUCG Open Records if a public photo is not visible.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, KYeCourts, District Court, or Circuit Court.
- For a specific facility, check the footer links for the Fayette County Detention Center, Blackburn Correctional Complex, Federal Medical Center Lexington, or Fayette Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
