Find Mason County Detention Center Releases

Mason Detention Center Release Destinations

Mason County Detention Center is the county and regional adult jail that serves Bracken County. A person arrested by the Bracken Sheriff, Augusta Police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency may be lodged at Mason. The arresting office owns its incident record. Mason owns the booking, custody, property, and release or removal record. The Bracken Circuit Court Clerk maintains the Bracken court file.

A person may leave Mason for the community after bond, own recognizance, time served, sentence completion, dismissal, probation, or another written legal authority. Another outcome is removal to Kentucky DOC, another jail, federal or ICE custody, treatment, a court appearance, or another authorized custodian. That transfer ends Mason custody without proving community release.

The receiving-authority field matters most when the destination is uncertain. “Released to other agency” must not be shortened to “released home.” It records the end of one facility’s custody and the start of another agency’s responsibility.

Confirm Mason Detention Center Releases

The official Mason JailTracker is a current-inmate tool. No official 24-hour, 72-hour, or archived released-person view was found. A missing name may follow release, transfer, correction, delayed posting, a different facility placement, or an identity mismatch. Use the roster as a lead, never as the final release record.

1. Search the current roster with the full legal name and reasonable identity variations.
2. Call Mason at 606-564-3621 and provide a birth date, booking number, or Bracken case number when known.
3. Ask whether the person was released, removed to another custodian, or cannot be matched.
4. Request the written release or removal entry showing time, date, purpose, authority, and destination.
5. Compare that entry with the signed Bracken court order and docket.
6. Switch to KOOL, BOP, or ICE ODLS if the record names one of those custodians.

The complete named-person search and records-request path appears on the Bracken County released inmate search. Record the date and time each changing system was checked.

Mason Detention Center Release Contact

Contact the facility for current custody questions and records it created. No facility-specific public release form, online release-log portal, published fee, or public retention window was located. A focused request should identify the person and the exact fields sought instead of asking only for a “release record.”

Request the releasable booking sheet and written release or removal entry. Name the approximate booking dates, Bracken case number, and booking number if known. Ask for the recorded date, time, purpose, legal authority, receiving authority or destination, and any releasable authorized release form. Request the booking photograph separately when needed.

Kentucky’s Open Records Act generally requires a response within five business days under KRS 61.880, subject to a proper explanation and earliest availability when production needs more time. No Mason rate was verified. Ask for the current fee and electronic delivery before ordering copies. If information is withheld, request the segregable public portion and the specific statutory basis.

Bracken Releases Through Mason

Bracken is a closed-jail county, but that does not mean it lacks custody duties or an elected jailer. The Kentucky Association of Counties explains that such counties remain responsible for prisoners and may use another county or regional jail. Bracken’s own fiscal-court minutes give direct evidence of repeated transport between Bracken court and Mason.

The local jailer coordinates Bracken prisoner responsibilities and can route questions about records created by that office. Mason remains the physical custody source. This split prevents a common error: contacting a supposed operating “Bracken County Jail” based on recycled commercial listings. No secure adult jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center was found inside Bracken County.

The successful Bracken elected-official directory capture documents the jailer contact route.

Use the local office for Bracken-created routing records, then obtain the physical release entry from Mason.

Mason Detention Center Bracken Bonds

Mason’s official bond instructions draw an important line between Mason charges and charges from another county. A bond on a Bracken charge must be paid at the Bracken courthouse during business hours, and the receipt must then be brought to Mason. Call the Bracken clerk and Mason first to confirm the live amount, payment route, and next step.

Mason publishes different procedures for its own county’s charges. During specified weekday hours, those cash bonds are paid through the Mason Circuit Clerk and the receipt is taken to the jail. After hours, weekends, and holidays, the jail describes an exact-cash route with valid identification and an additional amount. Those terms should not be transferred to a Bracken charge without confirmation. Property bonds go through the clerk. A responsible-adult release requires an adult with valid identification, while OR means own recognizance.

The successful Mason bond instruction capture shows the source used for these cross-county logistics.

A paid receipt shows that a bond step occurred. Mason’s later release time and destination remain the proof of the actual custody event.

Mason Detention Center Release Property

Mason’s property page says excess cell property goes into the property bag or may be collected by family. It does not publish a full release-property workflow, a fixed release exit, a waiting site, transit service, rideshare policy, or set release time. Families should call rather than infer those details.

501 KAR 3:120 separately requires the return of property receipted at admission unless it was legally confiscated or retained. The prisoner signs a receipt for returned property. A complaint about returned property must be specific, written, and made within 24 hours after release. Keep both receipts and list any disputed item precisely.

Property collected by family does not establish where the detained person went. Someone can be transferred while excess property is picked up separately. Use the release or removal entry for destination.

Mason Detention Center Custody Handoffs

A transfer to Kentucky DOC, another county, a federal agency, ICE, or an out-of-state authority is a handoff. Mason’s entry should name the recipient. For Kentucky state custody, use KOOL and read the top status and Current Location. An institution or county-jail location indicates custody. A named probation and parole office generally indicates community supervision, which is not final discharge.

For federal custody, the BOP locator covers BOP records. A past date or “RELEASED” means no longer in BOP custody, but another hold or supervision may remain. ICE ODLS covers current ICE custody and people released from ICE custody within the prior 60 days. Search it promptly if Mason identifies ICE as the receiving authority. No public historical USMS release locator was found.

An official Kentucky State Police account of a Bracken investigation shows why geography matters. Two people were reported lodged at Mason while another was held in Adams County, Ohio pending extradition. The arrest county, case county, and custody site can all differ. Follow the receiving authority, not a county name alone.

Mason Detention Center Record Roles

The facility’s official pages use Mason County Detention Center and the older Mason County Regional Detention Center name. It serves as the adult custody facility for Bracken under the closed-jail arrangement. No verified population, capacity, release count, fixed release schedule, or weekend-release policy was found, so none should be inferred.

The successful official Mason facility capture shows the facility’s own branding and site navigation.

Use official Mason pages for the facility identity, then match each question to the office that created the specific record.
