This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, approve a visit, or pull an official booking, court, or jail record. Use the official contacts below for those actions.

The Henry County open-records custodian lists office hours as 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Printed copies are listed at 10 cents per page, and Kentucky's Open Records Act, including KRS 61.872, generally uses a five-business-day response period. The Henry County Court of Justice lists public hours as Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
- For a person believed to be in local custody, start with jail inmate records and the Henry County Jailer contact.
- For booking photos and Kentucky's commercial-use/removal-fee rule under KRS 61.8746, see jail roster mugshots.
- For charges, case numbers, hearings, or expungement context under KRS 431.076, use court records after a jail arrest and the Kentucky Court of Justice.
- For a specific jail location, use the detention facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Kentucky prisoner, search KY DOC KOOL at https://kool.corrections.ky.gov/. VINE custody notifications are available by phone at 1-800-511-1670.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE detainee locator, since those systems are separate from Henry County and KY DOC records.
