Montgomery County Inmate Lookup
Official county and sheriff sources did not publish a clean Montgomery County jail roster, sample inmate profile, jail handbook, capacity page, visitation page, or official jail policy page during research. The verified local facility name is Montgomery County Regional Jail in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, because the Tiger Commissary service selector identifies that facility. A third-party address appeared in non-official listings, but it was not used because the project source rules require official support.
For current local custody, contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 859-498-8704 or verify through the jail before sending money, planning a visit, mailing items, or assuming the person is still housed locally. The Sheriff's Office lists Sheriff David Charles, 1 Court Street Suite 4, Mount Sterling, Kentucky 40353, and describes the office as a full-service law-enforcement agency. The sheriff site also notes the office was created in 1797 and has sworn deputies, court personnel, and reserve deputies.
Tiger Commissary is the verified vendor page connected to the Montgomery County Regional Jail service selector.
Use the vendor page only after confirming the inmate is held at the facility and the selected service matches the type of funds or order needed.
Search Montgomery County Inmates
Because no official local roster was found, the practical search path is a fallback chain. Local jail custody starts with sheriff or jail confirmation. State custody starts with Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, often called KOOL. Custody-change notices can be tracked through VINE. Court case activity, charges, and hearing dates are separate and may require KYeCourts or the Circuit Court Clerk.
The first question is location. A person arrested in Montgomery County may be booked locally, moved for housing, released on bond, held on another county's warrant, or later transferred to DOC custody after sentencing. A person can also have a public court case without being in jail. That is why a name search in one system may miss a person who appears in another official source.
- Confirm whether the question is about current local jail custody, state prison or supervision, a court date, or a past booking.
- Call the Sheriff's Office or jail channel for current Montgomery County local custody when no public roster is available.
- Search Kentucky Online Offender Lookup for sentenced offenders or people under Kentucky DOC custody or supervision.
- Use Kentucky VINE to check custody status and register for notice where the person is listed.
- Use court tools or the Circuit Court Clerk for charges, court dates, fines, and case dispositions because those are not the same as jail custody records.
For sheriff service and record-copy context, the Sheriff's services page lists report copies and related office services.
That page supports the sheriff as a local law-enforcement contact, while custody searches still require direct verification when no public roster is posted.
Montgomery County Search Fields
The researched searchable field inventory comes from KOOL, not from a Montgomery County jail roster. KOOL is a statewide Department of Corrections search. It can help find sentenced offenders and some people under state custody or supervision, but it is not guaranteed to list every pretrial person held at Montgomery County Regional Jail. For a same-day arrest or short local hold, direct jail confirmation is still the safer route.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | No | Search any or all fields; check spelling if no results appear. |
| First Name | Text | No | Useful when a last name returns many matches. |
| Middle Name | Text | No | Helps narrow common names. |
| PID / Offender Identifier | Text | No | Best when the state offender number is known. |
| Gender | Filter | No | Observed in query parameters as a search filter. |
| Race | Filter | No | Observed in query parameters as a search filter. |
| Location Type | Filter | No | Can narrow custody or supervision location types where available. |
| Only Photo Records | Checkbox | No | Limits results where photo records exist. |
| Search Aliases | Checkbox | No | Can include alternate names when supported. |
What Inmate Records Show
No official Montgomery County inmate profile sample was located, so the table distinguishes likely local jail questions from verified statewide and registry fields. A court charge is not the same as a conviction, and a booking status is not the same as a final court disposition. Use court records for the case, sheriff or jail contact for local custody, KOOL for DOC information, and VINE for notice registration.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and identifiers | Identity details used to avoid confusing people with similar names. |
| Custody status | Whether the person appears in custody, under supervision, transferred, released, or not listed in the searched system. |
| Charges or offense text | Alleged charge, conviction offense, or registry offense, depending on the source. |
| Case or court link | A separate court record path may be needed for hearing dates, pleas, dispositions, and fines. |
| Facility or location | Local jail, DOC facility, supervision location, or registry address when the source provides it. |
| Notification options | VINE can provide custody and case notice registration when a record is in the system. |
The Kentucky Department of Corrections homepage links statewide offender services, including state-level custody resources.
That statewide source is useful after sentencing or transfer, but it should not be treated as a complete Montgomery County pretrial booking roster.
Montgomery County Jail Contacts
The verified public sources support one local jail identity and one official local fallback contact. The Tiger Commissary selector identifies Montgomery County Regional Jail in Mount Sterling. The official sheriff site gives the sheriff office address and phone. Official research did not locate a jail capacity, housing-unit list, direct jail policy page, or official visitation page, so those details should be confirmed before a visit or deposit.
The Sheriff's services page is also useful for understanding what the sheriff office publishes as official service information. It lists vehicle inspections required by Kentucky law and report copies at $2, with mail requests sent to the Sheriff's Office address. Those report-copy details are not inmate-profile fields, but they confirm the sheriff as the local office for law-enforcement records and public-facing service questions.

Montgomery County Custody Notices
Kentucky VINE provides custody status and criminal case information where the searched person is in the system. The Kentucky DOC VINE information says users can learn whether an offender is in custody, get status information, and register for phone or email notices. VINE registration is confidential, and the offender is not told that a person registered for notification.
Phone notification uses a four-digit PIN. VINE continues calling for a 24-hour window until the PIN is entered. This makes VINE useful for release, transfer, or status-change notice, but it does not replace the need to confirm a same-day Montgomery County jail hold with the local custody source.
The Kentucky DOC VINE information page explains how the notification service works.
The VINE source is best for notice registration after a person is located in the statewide custody-notification system.
Visitation Mail and Rules
Official Montgomery County sources reviewed for this build did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video visitation provider, attorney visit policy, mail-address format, tablet rule, dress code, or child visitor rule. Do not rely on generic county-jail rules. Confirm the person's location first, then ask the jail for current rules before mailing anything or appearing for a visit.
| Issue | Official Research Result | Practical Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Schedule not located in official sources | Call before visiting. |
| Video visitation | Provider not located in official sources | Ask whether video visits are offered. |
| Mail rules | Format not located in official sources | Confirm address, ID number use, and banned items. |
| Attorney visits | Procedure not located in official sources | Ask the jail or court contact for current process. |
| Money deposits | Tiger Commissary selector located | Confirm custody location before depositing. |
Important: Do not send cash, stamps, checks, packages, or photos until the jail confirms current mail rules.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The Tiger Commissary service selector is the verified online vendor page for Montgomery County Regional Jail in Mount Sterling. The inspected page supports a narrow statement: a vendor service page exists for that facility. Specific deposit fees, kiosk hours, order limits, posting times, money-order rules, and phone deposit details were not visible in the official research capture.
Use Tiger Commissary only after confirming the person is still housed at Montgomery County Regional Jail and that the selected service type is correct. If the person has been transferred to state custody, the DOC money path may be different. If the person has been released, a commissary order may not be useful and may create a refund issue.
The Kentucky VINE portal is a separate custody and case-notification tool.
Use VINE for custody notice and Tiger Commissary for jail vendor services only after the inmate location is verified.
Inmates and Registry Records
The Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry is separate from jail custody. Registry records can show name, aliases, address or registrant location, photograph, offense or conviction information covered by registry law, status updates, and alert options. KSP also warns that harassing a person identified on the registry can be a criminal offense under Kentucky law.
Registry information should not be used as a Montgomery County jail roster, arrest list, or warrant list. For current local custody, verify through jail or sheriff channels. For court charges and dispositions, use the court case record. For state offender custody or supervision, use KOOL. These systems overlap in some cases, but each one has a different legal purpose.
KSP registry contact information from the official source includes kspsor@ky.gov, 502-227-8700, and 1266 Louisville Road, Frankfort, KY 40601. That statewide registry contact is for registry issues, not for Montgomery County jail release times or commissary questions. Local custody questions should remain with the jail or sheriff path, while criminal case questions should go to the Circuit Court Clerk.
For a person who appears in both court and custody systems, compare dates carefully. A court docket can show arraignment, bond review, or disposition, while a custody source can show location or notification status. Neither source should be read alone when the practical question is release, transfer, next hearing, or whether money can be sent.
