This is a private reference site, not a Butler County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or obtain an official booking record for you. Use the official office that controls the record or custody decision.
Where to Ask
For current Butler County Jail custody, start with the jail or the CPC roster. For law-enforcement records, warrants, or sheriff records, use the sheriff's office. For court records after an arrest, use the Butler Circuit Court Clerk or Kentucky Court of Justice tools. The contacts below are drawn from the Butler County and Kentucky source material used for this project.

Use the following routing list when you are not sure which office or locator fits the record:
- Someone in the Butler County Jail: use jail inmate records, the CPC roster, or call the jail at (270) 526-3505.
- Booking photos: use jail roster mugshots and the jail's records process for copies not shown online.
- Charges filed after an arrest: use court records after a jail arrest, the KCOJ dockets portal, KYeCourts, or the circuit clerk.
- Facility details: Butler County has one confirmed local detention facility, Butler County Jail.
- Sentenced state prisoners: search the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL system.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No separate federal prison or ICE detention center was confirmed in Butler County.
