Fayette Jail and Release Records
For a local adult jail status, release transaction, booking sheet, or booking photograph, contact the Division of Community Corrections. The jail is operated by the urban-county government, not by the sheriff. Use the city’s open-records request page and select Community Corrections. Requests may also be sent to ORR@lexingtonky.gov, faxed, mailed, or delivered in person.

Address a mailed request to “Attn: Open Records.” Identify the person and booking episode as precisely as possible. The city does not publish a special booking-photo fee, so ask for a cost estimate before copies are made.
Kentucky Prison and Supervision
A state-prison record, KOOL correction, or KDOC release file belongs to the Kentucky Department of Corrections open-records office. Requests may be sent to correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov. KDOC publishes a five-business-day response period and copy charges of ten cents per released paper page, one dollar for a CD plus postage, and approximately $2.50 for a USB drive plus postage. Those terms do not govern a Fayette city request.
