Union County 72-Hour Feed
The official Union County jail page states that the old jail closed in 2020 and local arrestees go to Webster County. Webster provides a page titled Current Inmates. It does not provide a verified rolling 72-hour view, searchable release archive, stated retention period, or update schedule.
A missing name is evidence only that the person is not displayed as currently held at that moment. It cannot show whether the exit was bond, time served, dismissal, a court order, or transfer. Over a three-day period, several status changes may occur. A person could leave Webster for KDOC, another jail, federal custody, or immigration custody and never enter the community.
Build Union County Release History
Use one start time and one end time before contacting offices. A fixed interval prevents “last 72 hours” from shifting during the search. Include the person’s full name and, when known, a date of birth, booking number, or court case number. Then compare events in time order.
- Record the exact three-day interval, including local time.
- Check Webster’s current roster to identify anyone still displayed in custody.
- Call Webster at 270-639-7022 or 270-639-7032 and ask about releases or transfers during the interval.
- Search VINE for each specific person and note any noncustody date.
- Check the Union Circuit Court Clerk record for the order behind the custody change.
- Use KOOL and KDOC Daily Releases if state custody or supervision may be involved.
- Request existing Webster release and custody-log records for a complete, durable response.
This method does not create an official list. It assembles source records that can be matched to the chosen period. The Released Last 24 Hours page is better when the question is limited to today or one same-day change.
Union County Three-Day Fields
The useful fields come from the underlying Webster record, not a public release-feed display. Ask for fields that already exist and avoid demanding analysis. Date and time are vital because a date-only state entry may not reveal whether the person falls inside the exact local window.
| Field | Use in a 72-hour review |
|---|---|
| Full name and identifier | Prevents a same-name record from entering the set. |
| Booking date and time | Connects the result to the right confinement. |
| Release date and time | Places the physical exit inside or outside the interval. |
| Release or transfer code | Separates community release from continuing custody. |
| Destination | Points to the next agency when recorded. |
| Bond-processing entry | Links a pretrial exit to its processing event. |
| Court case number | Connects the jail action with the Union County case. |
A VINE date can support the timeline, but Kentucky warns that local and DOC entries may be duplicated. A court order gives legal context. Webster’s record remains the source for the actual local physical exit.
Note: Ask for a bounded interval and electronic copies to help the custodian identify responsive existing records without creating a new report.
Weekend Union County Releases
The three-day span is most useful across weekends and holidays. A Friday court order may not align with the time Webster finishes release checks. A late-night exit can cross a calendar boundary. Online status may update after staff complete the underlying action. Those facts make a single roster snapshot a weak substitute for a custody log.
Build a simple chronology: court action, bond processing, jail exit, VINE status update, and any receiving-agency entry. If a date conflicts, ask which event each source records. The order date and release date can both be accurate while describing different steps.
| Source | Event it usually answers | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Union court file | Order, bond, dismissal, or sentence action | May not show door time. |
| Webster custody record | Physical release or transfer processing | Must often be requested. |
| VINE | Reported custody-status change | Vendor reporting can lag. |
| KDOC release record | State-system release event | Not a full Webster release list. |
Request Union County Release Proof
Send the physical-custody request to Webster County Detention Center, 141 Stegal Street, Dixon, KY 42409. Request the booking sheet, release or custody-status record, release date and time, release or transfer category and destination if recorded, bond entry, and relevant custody log for the fixed interval. No verified Webster-specific online request form, fee schedule, response clock, or photo fee was found, so do not assume one.
Union Fiscal Court is the proper route for county-held jailer transport logs, correspondence, or contract records. The Union clerk holds the court file. KDOC’s Kentucky Online Offender Lookup and Daily Releases archive apply to state custody or supervision. A jail-only person may have no KOOL record at all.
- Release
- An exit from a particular custodian, which may be to the community or another authority.
- Time served
- Release after the calculated term has been satisfied.
- Parole
- Conditional community release before sentence expiration.
- Mandatory Reentry Supervision
- A Kentucky state release into supervision near the end of a qualifying sentence.
Union County Transfer Checks
When Webster says “transfer,” continue with the receiving system. KOOL shows active state inmates and people on Kentucky parole, probation, or mandatory reentry supervision. The federal Bureau of Prisons locator addresses BOP custody only. ICE’s locator covers current and limited recent immigration custody, but a miss is not proof of release.
The Union County Sheriff’s participation in ICE’s 287(g) Task Force Model does not make the closed county jail an ICE detention site. The model concerns limited delegated authority during routine law-enforcement work. If ICE takes custody from Webster, the local roster removal is a transfer, not a community release.
Note: A three-day list should never combine confirmed community exits with transfers unless each outcome is labeled clearly and tied to its source.
Reconcile Union County Release Dates
Three-day research often returns several dates for one person. The court may enter an order on one day, Webster may complete the release the next, and VINE may display a later update. A KDOC date can describe a state action rather than the local door time. Keep each date beside its source and event label.
For bond, request the Webster bond entry and Union court order. For time served, look for the custody calculation and release record. For probation or shock probation, check the signed order and KOOL if KDOC supervision appears. For parole or mandatory reentry supervision, compare KOOL status, the KDOC archive, and VINE.
A disappearance at the start of the interval and a later notice do not prove the exact exit moment. Webster’s custody log can bridge that gap. Ask for existing entries, not a new narrative. Separate confirmed community releases from transfers and unresolved removals. State any limits when the record gives a date without an hour.
The Kentucky Daily Releases archive can support the interval when a state inmate leaves from a local jail. Its PDFs may name a category and location. They do not list every Webster exit, so an empty result cannot rule out a jail-only release. KOOL is for KDOC custody and supervision, not a county booking history.
Older or fully discharged state records may not stay visible in KOOL. KDOC directs former-offender questions to Offender Information Services, and a discharge certificate can give a durable answer. Court retention and lawful expungement can affect access. Record those limits instead of treating a missing online name as final proof.
