This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, pull official booking records, or change court data. Use the official Madison County and Kentucky contacts below for those tasks.
Where to Start
Different Madison County offices keep different records. Custody and booking questions start with the Madison County Detention Center. Law-enforcement service questions can route to Sheriff Mike Coyle's office or non-emergency dispatch. Court dates, filed charges, and copies of court records are handled through the Kentucky Court of Justice and the Madison County Circuit Court Clerk.
