Franklin County Jail Roster
The Franklin County Jailer page is the official county gateway for local inmate information. It identifies Franklin County Regional Jail, lists Jailer Tracy Hopper, gives the public jail number, and points readers to the jail site for current inmates, visitation, and commissary. The jail itself is at 400 Coffee Tree Road in Frankfort, and the research file lists the jail information number as 502-875-8782 and the jailer office as 502-875-8713.
The roster interface could not be inspected because the jail domain repeatedly reset HTTPS connections during research. That makes accuracy more important than convenience. Do not assume a Franklin County inmate record displays a booking number, housing unit, mugshot, release date, or search filter unless the live roster proves it. The jail phone, Franklin County open-records process, VINE, KOOL, and court systems fill in the gaps when the roster is down or when the person has moved out of current county custody.
The manifest includes the Franklin County Jailer page, the local source for the jail address, jailer name, phone numbers, office hours, and links to current inmate information.
Use that county page as the starting point before moving to state or court systems, because it is the local official gateway for current Franklin County jail custody.
Search Franklin County Inmates
A Franklin County inmate lookup works best as a chain rather than a single search box. The county page says the jail site links to current inmates, but research did not capture the current roster screen. If a person was just arrested, if the roster link fails, or if the name does not return a match, call the jail and then check the systems that match the custody stage.
- Start at the Franklin County Jailer page or the Franklin County Regional Jail site.
- Use the current-inmates link if it is available, and search by the person's name.
- Call 502-875-8782 if the roster is unavailable, if the booking is new, or if the result does not match.
- Use VINELink for notification of release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing events.
- Use Kentucky Online Offender Lookup when the person may be in DOC custody or a state inmate housed locally.
- Use KYeCourts public records and Kentucky docket search for case filings and court dates.
Franklin County Search Fields
The Franklin County jail roster search fields were not captured, so the county roster table should be treated as a research gap. KOOL search fields were captured from Kentucky DOC material and are useful when a person is sentenced, in a state category, or appears in a county jail as a DOC-related offender.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | No or unspecified | Shown as a KOOL search field |
| First Name | Text | No or unspecified | Optional narrowing field |
| Middle Name | Text | No or unspecified | Optional narrowing field |
| Photos Only | Checkbox | No | Filters to DOC records with photos |
| Search Aliases | Checkbox | No | Includes aliases in the search |
| DOC # / PID # | Text or number | No | Advanced identifiers for state records |
| Location | Dropdown or filter | No | May show a facility or county jail location |
Franklin County Inmate Profile
A Franklin County jail record may be available through the online current-inmates link, the jail information phone line, or a public-records request. The research supports saying that inmate-specific information such as charges, bond, and court information is available by phone. It does not support a precise claim about the public roster layout. That is why the jail phone and court clerk remain important backup channels.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Search key for jail phone, roster, VINE, KOOL, and court records |
| Booking date or number | Not captured from the official Franklin roster |
| Charges | Jail information line and court records can provide charge information |
| Bond | Confirm with the jail or Franklin County Circuit Court Clerk because amounts and holds can change |
| Court information | KYeCourts, docket search, and the circuit clerk are the formal sources |
| Mugshot | Not proven on the Franklin jail roster; KOOL has a photos-only filter for DOC records |
Franklin County Jail Facilities
Franklin County has two local adult custody entries in the Facility Map. The secure jail is the main county detention facility. Franklin RCC is a restricted-custody center reported separately by Kentucky DOC. Both should be checked through the jail's current-inmates path, jail phone, KOOL, and VINE unless a separate RCC roster is later published.

County State Federal Search
The county roster is for local custody, not every person connected to a Franklin County case. Kentucky DOC's KOOL system covers sentenced state prisoners and some DOC-related county jail records. BOP covers federal sentenced custody. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention. KYeCourts covers the formal case after a prosecutor or court filing creates a public case record.
| Custody or Record | Where to Look | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial county jail | Franklin jail current-inmates link or 502-875-8782 | Most recent local bookings start here |
| State or DOC custody | KOOL | Franklin reports Class D and state categories in weekly jail data |
| Custody notifications | VINELink or 1-800-511-1670 | Notifies of release, transfer, escape, or parole events |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | Separate from county and Kentucky DOC systems |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | No Franklin County ICE facility was found |
Franklin County Booking Process
The exact Franklin County Regional Jail booking workflow is not published in the official sources inspected. The supported local path is arrest by a law-enforcement agency, transport to the jail or court-directed custody, intake identification, search and property inventory, screening, booking record creation, classification, bond or hold review, and housing assignment. The jail job application describes correctional officers monitoring movement, conducting headcounts, checking for contraband, transporting prisoners, preparing reports, and maintaining care, custody, and control.
After arrest, the court path moves through District Court or Circuit Court depending on the charge. Franklin County Courthouse is at 222 Saint Clair Street in Frankfort. Circuit Court Clerk Kem Marshall's office is the local starting point for court-record copies, and the court page gives the clerk phone as 502-564-7013. For charge filings, use court records after a jail arrest rather than treating the booking entry as the final case record.

Franklin County Open Records
When a Franklin County inmate record is not available online, use the county open-records process. The Franklin County open-records page says requests may use the county form, the Attorney General standardized form, or another request with the required statutory information. Send requests to the Fiscal Court Clerk at 321 West Main Street, Frankfort, KY 40601, email openrecords@franklincounty.ky.gov, fax 502-875-8755, or submit in person. The county states it will make a determination within five working days.
The manifest includes the county open-records page, which shows the local request channels and fee rules.
Use names, approximate booking dates, the record type requested, and contact information so the custodian can identify the jail record.
