Union County Release Feed Status
Union County’s jail closed in fall 2020. The county’s official jail information page says people arrested locally are transported to Webster County. The relevant online roster is therefore Webster County Detention Center’s Current Inmates page. Research found no official 24-hour, 72-hour, or recent-release archive from either county.
The current roster answers a narrow question: whether a person is displayed as held now. When a name disappears, the person might have bonded out, completed a sentence, left under a court order, or transferred to another authority. The absence does not identify the route. Webster’s underlying booking, custody, and release records are the best evidence of its physical action.
Check Union County 24-Hour Releases
A same-day inquiry works best as a short sequence. Start with the live source, then seek a record that states what happened. Union County publishes 270-639-7022 for offender-information questions. Webster’s official directions page lists the facility at 141 Stegal Street, Dixon, Kentucky 42409, and gives 270-639-7032 as a facility number.
- Search Webster’s Current Inmates page using the person’s correct name. A match indicates current display, not release.
- If the person is missing, call Webster and ask whether the exit was a community release or a transfer.
- Search VINE for the same person. Kentucky guidance says a noncustody response supplies the release date.
- Check the Union County case through the Circuit Court Clerk for a bond, dismissal, sentence, or other order.
- Request the existing Webster custody or release record when a lasting, source-held answer is needed.
For one named person rather than a daily set, the full Union County released inmate search also separates local, state, federal, and immigration paths.
Note: Search VINE under both local-jail and KDOC records when duplicate entries appear, because the records may describe different custody stages.
Union County Release Record Fields
Because no public same-day feed exists, the fields below are request targets rather than claims about an online table. Ask for existing records tied to a name and bounded booking period. A clear request avoids asking staff to create a new explanation.
| Field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Distinguish people with similar names through booking, case, or offender numbers. |
| Booking date and time | Connect the exit to the correct custody episode. |
| Release date and time | Show when Webster completed physical processing, if recorded. |
| Release or transfer type | Separate a community exit from movement to another authority. |
| Destination | Identify a receiving jail, KDOC, federal, or immigration authority when recorded. |
| Bond entry | Document bond processing without implying that the court case ended. |
| Custody log | Provide the sequence of status changes around the exit. |
A court order may precede jail processing. A VINE notice may follow the vendor’s data update. For that reason, compare the date, time, record creator, and the kind of release each source describes.
Bonding Out Across Two Counties
Bond release is especially local here. The Union County charge remains with the court in Morganfield, while Webster holds and releases the arrestee in Dixon. Webster’s official bond page says bond payment is cash only with exact change. It lists a $31 booking fee and a $5 jail bond fee. Union’s court page directs callers to the Circuit Clerk at 270-389-1811 for a bond of $10,000 or more.
Payment does not itself prove that someone has walked out. Staff must process the bond and check for other holds. Bond also does not end the criminal case. It means the person left pretrial custody subject to the court’s terms. Confirm the physical release with Webster and the legal basis with the Union clerk.
Note: Confirm the permitted payment place and timing for the specific bond before traveling, since the court and release facility are in different counties.
Union County Release Fallbacks
A written request is the durable fallback when a phone answer or live roster is not enough. Send Webster County Detention Center a focused request for the booking sheet, custody-status or release record, release date and time, release or transfer category and destination if recorded, bond-processing entry, booking photograph, and relevant custody log. Ask for electronic copies and for nonexempt portions if any part is withheld.
Route records by creator. Webster holds physical custody records. Union Fiscal Court may hold jailer transport logs, county correspondence, or housing records. The Union Circuit Court Clerk holds court orders and docket material. KDOC handles state sentence, supervision, and discharge material. Kentucky’s Online Offender Lookup helps only when state custody or supervision is involved; a jail-only detainee may never appear there.
- Community release
- An exit from custody into the community, which may still carry bond or supervision terms.
- Transfer
- Movement from Webster to another custodian, not freedom from custody.
- Discharge
- The end of a sentence or supervision obligation, not merely leaving a jail building.
- Detainer
- A request or basis for another authority to take custody.
Union County Custody Status
Released and still in custody must remain separate. Someone displayed on Webster’s current roster is shown as confined there. Someone absent may be free, transferred, or missing because of an update issue. A Union court order explains the legal event but may not show the exact door time. VINE can report a noncustody date, while KOOL can show state confinement or community supervision.
| Situation | First source | Required check |
|---|---|---|
| Still held locally | Webster Current Inmates | Confirm identity and current facility. |
| Possible local release | Webster staff or release record | Ask release versus transfer. |
| State custody | KOOL active record | Do not confuse a projected date with release. |
| State supervision | KOOL parole, probation, or MRS record | Check begin and end dates and location. |
| Federal or ICE movement | BOP or ICE locator | Remember local roster removal may be a transfer. |
The broader Released Last 72 Hours process helps when an update crossed midnight or more than one business day.
Read Union County Release Types
The words used for an exit matter. Bond means the person left pretrial custody while the Union County case continued. Time served means the calculated jail term was satisfied. Probation may place the person in the community under court terms. Parole is conditional release from a state sentence. A final discharge ends the relevant sentence and supervision, which is different from merely leaving Webster.
Transfer language deserves close attention. A move to KDOC, another county jail, federal custody, or ICE ends Webster custody but does not mean the person returned home. Ask for the recorded destination. Then check the receiving system. If Webster reports a court-ordered community release, compare that answer with the signed Union order and VINE date.
Identity checks are just as important. Compare the full name, date of birth, booking number, case number, aliases, and charge. A photograph can help, but cannot establish release alone. Preserve the time of each check and the exact status phrase supplied. Same-name mistakes can spread quickly when an informal result is repeated without its record number.
KDOC’s Daily Releases archive adds a date-indexed state source when a state inmate leaves from a local jail. Its categories may include serve-out, parole, shock probation, mandatory reentry supervision, or minimum-expiration terms. It is not a complete Webster list. A Union County defendant held only before trial may never appear in it.
Federal paths are also limited. The Bureau of Prisons locator covers federal custody, while the ICE locator addresses current and limited recent immigration custody. Neither replaces Webster’s local record. The U.S. Marshals Service has no comparable public name locator, so a relevant transfer may require agency or court confirmation.
