This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office responsible for the record or custody status.
Choose the Official Contact
Nicholas County arrest and custody information is divided among local, regional, state, and federal offices. Use the contact tied to the question. No sheriff records-unit name, sheriff fee schedule, or response promise was published in the source review, so callers should ask who currently receives Kentucky Open Records Act requests.
Nicholas County Sheriff
Nicholas County Courthouse
125 East Main Street
Carlisle, KY 40311
859-289-3740 or 859-289-3741
Use the official sheriff page for the arresting agency's contact and monthly-report route. Ask the office which person and number currently handle records requests.
Bourbon County Regional Detention Center
101 Legion Road
Paris, KY 40361
859-987-2137

The official regional jail handles present physical custody and maintains the Current Inmate List for a facility that houses Nicholas County detainees. The official source did not publish general office hours.
Other record types belong with different sources:
- For a Carlisle Police incident or arrest report, contact the police office at 107 East Chestnut Street, Carlisle, KY 40311, or call 859-289-3710. The department is open 24 hours, and emergencies go to 911.
- For the local case, hearings, filings, or disposition, use the Nicholas County court and clerk information. A jail charge is not a final court result.
- For a person in Kentucky state custody or supervision, search the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL system. KOOL is not a feed of every new Nicholas County arrest.
- For a federal sentenced prisoner, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- For booking-photo and record-request instructions, the Nicholas County recent-arrests hub explains which custodian may hold each item. The regional jail does not promise that a photo appears in its public portal.
- For release or transfer alerts from a participating source, use VINELink Check. Local BCRDC participation was not confirmed by a published county statement, so verify the result with the jail.
