The right destination depends on the question:
- Ask the regional jail for its booking, release, or custody record.
- Ask the sheriff for arrest or transport records that the sheriff created.
- Ask the clerk for the Nicholas County case, judgment, order, or disposition.
- Use District 14 or Kentucky DOC for probation, parole, state custody, or discharge.
- Use BOP for federal sentenced custody and the federal docket for USMS pretrial action.
- Use ICE ODLS only for a possible current immigration detention record.
