Butler County Jail Roster
The practical online Butler County inmate roster is the vendor-hosted Butler KY CPC JMS page. Research captured the public listing as "Inmates" and "Currently Booked Inmates." The visible listing fields are first name, middle name, last name, booked-in date, age, and a Details link. The roster should be treated as a current-custody tool, not as a statewide criminal-history search and not as a complete court case record.
The official Butler County Jailer is Wayne Russ. The official county page lists the jail/jailer at P.O. Box 609, 110 North Main Street, Morgantown, Kentucky 42261, phone 270-526-3505, and fax 270-526-3757. The page states that Butler County Jail supervises inmates in a secure environment, assists with needs, and helps transition people to the court system, the regional jail system, or back into the community.
The Butler KY jail roster is the source assigned for the current inmate list. 
This roster is the best confirmed online starting point for current Butler County bookings.
Use the Butler Inmate Roster
The roster is simple compared with a full criminal court database. It is built around current bookings and visible listing fields. Because the research did not confirm every Details-field item, the safest approach is to rely only on the captured public fields and call the jail for anything not shown.
- Open the Butler KY jail roster.
- Review the currently booked inmate list.
- Compare first, middle, and last name with the booked-in date and age.
- Use the Details link if available for more roster information.
- Call Butler County Jail/Jailer at 270-526-3505 before acting on uncertain booking, visitation, or release information.
Current booking data is only one part of an inmate search. A person may leave county custody, move to a regional jail, enter state custody, or appear in court while the roster changes. Court charges after arrest may be checked through court records, and custody notifications may be managed through VINE.
Butler County Inmate Search Fields
The roster fields captured during research were listing-level fields. The page may support name review through visible list data, but no broader official field set was confirmed. Do not assume a booking number, bond, charge, court date, arresting agency, mugshot, or release date is always displayed unless it appears in the current Details view.
| Field or Column | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Name | Result column or possible search text | Unspecified | Shows inmate first name in the listing. |
| Middle Name | Result column or possible search text | Unspecified | Shows middle name or initial where available. |
| Last Name | Result column or possible search text | Unspecified | Shows inmate last name in the listing. |
| Booked In Date | Result column | Not applicable | Shows date the person was booked into custody. |
| Age | Result column | Not applicable | Shows listed age. |
| Details | Link or button | Not applicable | Opens more information if available. |
What Inmate Records Show
Research confirmed listing-level fields only. Some jail roster systems include charges, bond, mugshots, booking number, arresting agency, or court date in a details screen, but those fields were not confirmed for Butler County from the captured text. The page should be used conservatively, with the jail contact as the fallback for details not visible online.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | First, middle, and last name visible on the current booking list. |
| Booking date | The date shown as Booked In Date. |
| Age | The listed age for the booked person. |
| Details | A link to additional roster information if available. |
| Charges | Not confirmed in listing capture; call the jail or check court charges if not visible. |
| Bond | Not confirmed in listing capture; verify through jail or court records. |
| Court date | Not confirmed in listing capture; use court docket or clerk verification. |
| Release date | Not shown for the current booked list in research capture. |
The Kentucky.gov Department of Corrections profile lists DOC contact information and identifies KOOL as a public service. 
DOC channels are statewide, so they should be used after confirming the person is no longer just a current county booking.
Butler County Jail Contact
The official Butler County KY pages did not publish a separate facility capacity table, visitor schedule, phone-provider table, commissary vendor, or mail rule set. The confirmed jail contact is the Butler County Jail/Jailer office at the courthouse address. The Jailer page states that more than 125 men and women will move through the facility during the year and lists program opportunities for people in custody.

Butler County Booking Flow
A Butler County arrest may involve the sheriff, city police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency. The person is transported to Butler County Jail or another authorized holding facility. Intake creates the current-custody record, and the roster may show name, age, booking date, and a details link. Initial court appearance, arraignment, or probable-cause review is generally handled in District Court for misdemeanors, traffic, and preliminary felony matters.
Bond may be set or reviewed through the court process. The Circuit Court Clerk handles bond money among clerk duties. If felony charges proceed by indictment or information, the criminal case moves into Circuit Court. That is why an inmate search often leads to court-charge and criminal-case searches.
The Kentucky Department of Corrections homepage links to KOOL, VINE, legal-mail notices, open-records information, and related DOC services. 
DOC resources are useful when custody or supervision has moved beyond the local jail roster.
County Jail vs Kentucky KOOL
The Butler KY jail roster and Kentucky Online Offender Lookup serve different purposes. The county roster is for currently booked Butler County inmates. KOOL is for Kentucky Department of Corrections offenders, state prison, and supervision data. The KOOL search page says users can enter search data in any or all fields and enter as little information as needed, but it is not the same database as the county roster.
| Tool | Best For | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Butler KY jail roster | Currently booked Butler County inmates. | Listing fields are limited and current-custody focused. |
| KOOL | State DOC offenders and supervision data. | Not a county jail roster. |
| Kentucky VINE | Custody and criminal case notifications. | Notification tool, not a complete inmate file. |
| Court docket | Scheduled hearings after arrest. | Not a custody list. |
The Kentucky DOC VINE information page explains the notification service and custody-status use. 
VINE can help monitor status changes after a Butler County booking or transfer.
Visitation Mail and Deposits
Official Butler County KY visitation, mail, commissary, money-deposit, video visitation, phone-provider, dress-code, and visitor-schedule details were not located in the official sources reviewed. The correct local fallback is to call Butler County Jail/Jailer at 270-526-3505 before visiting, mailing, or sending funds. Do not use Butler County Ohio or Kansas jail pages, which appear in search results but are different jurisdictions.
| Topic | Confirmed Butler County KY Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Visitation schedule | Official schedule not located. | Call the jail before traveling. |
| Mail rules | Official mail format and prohibited list not located. | Call before sending mail. |
| Commissary or funds | Official vendor and deposit rules not located. | Verify directly with the jail. |
| Video visits | Official provider and pricing not located. | Do not assume a vendor. |
| Phone accounts | Official phone provider and rates not located. | Call the jail for current instructions. |
Note: The absence of an official online schedule is a research finding, so the safe instruction is direct jail verification.
Butler County Jail Programs
The official Jailer page lists several program opportunities. These are useful because they show the jail's role beyond holding people for court. Availability can change, so the jail should confirm current program access and eligibility.
- Work Release.
- Home Incarceration.
- Substance Abuse Counseling.
- Domestic Violence Counseling.
- Mental Health Counseling.
- GED, AA, NA, and Bible Study.
The Kentucky VINE portal provides custody status, criminal case information, service providers, and notifications. 
It is a statewide support channel when a Butler County custody matter needs status alerts.
Inmate records should also be read beside court and charge records when the question is more than location. Booking confirms that a person entered custody, but it does not prove final guilt, final sentence, or a current warrant by itself. A charge may be amended, reduced, dismissed, or later indicted differently. A bond entry may change after a hearing. A court date may move. For those reasons, custody status, court docket status, and criminal disposition should be checked through their own official channels.
Butler County research did not locate an official sheriff or police mobile app for this Kentucky county. App search results for similarly named agencies pointed to other states, so no app-only inmate lookup, app-only warrant tool, or app-only records request feature should be described for Butler County KY unless a future official source confirms it.
The confirmed local access rule is simple: use the roster for current bookings, KOOL for state custody, VINE for alerts, and the jail phone line for visit, mail, funds, and program questions.
