Grant County Jail Roster Overview
The Grant County Detention Center is the official county jail source for local custody records. The facility is at 212 Barnes Road in Williamstown and lists phone service at 859-824-5191. The jail describes itself as a 348-bed facility for adult male and female offenders, including Grant County and state inmates. The jail's public online ecosystem includes a JailTracker link and a separate 365Labs Citizen Portal branded for the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
Grant County inmate records can show a current booking, a recent booking, or a recent release, depending on which roster channel is used and which data is public at that moment. They do not show sealed court records, private medical or classification notes, juvenile details, attorney work product, or the final meaning of a charge. A booking charge is an allegation or custody field. A conviction must be confirmed from court disposition and sentence records.

Use Grant County Inmate Search
The detention center links to Grant County JailTracker. The research also identified a 365Labs Citizen Portal inmate list for the Grant County Sheriff's Office. Both are official or agency-associated roster channels, but both had technical limits during capture. JailTracker loaded as a public app shell, and the 365Labs portal required CAPTCHA before roster display. The available client fields still identify the useful search and result structure.
- Open JailTracker from the detention center site when checking current local custody.
- Open the 365Labs inmate list when searching by booking type, name, or booking number.
- Choose recent bookings, current inmates, or recent releases if the portal presents those options.
- Enter the first name, last name, or booking number when known.
- Complete required verification before results display.
- Open the person detail view for charges, bond, booking date, release date, or court fields if available.
If neither roster returns a result, call the jail for custody status or check the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup when the person may be in state prison or under a state offender record after transfer or sentencing.
Grant County Inmate Search Fields
The 365Labs roster provided the clearest captured search inventory. It supports booking category selection and name or booking-number search. The CAPTCHA requirement is part of the public access path and should be expected. JailTracker may expose overlapping fields through its app, but the fetched HTML did not provide a full public search form because the roster is built as a client application.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show Bookings | toggle/radio | optional | Recent means bookings in the last 48 hours; All means current inmates; Recent Releases means releases in the last 48 hours. |
| First Name | text | optional | Narrows the Grant County inmate roster by given name. |
| Last Name | text | optional | Narrows the roster by surname. |
| Booking No. | text | optional | Useful when a jail, court, or family notice provides a booking number. |
| CAPTCHA / verification | challenge | required | The portal requires verification before public roster results display. |
Grant County Inmate Profile Fields
Grant County inmate detail fields can vary by roster system and public display setting. The 365Labs markup exposed name, gender/race, birth date if not hidden, age, booking date, booking number, mugshot thumbnail when available, release date, address, charge rendering, bond information, and generated bond document commands when bond records exist. JailTracker client inventory identified custody and court fields such as charge description, bond amount, bond type, arresting agency, court name, court type, court time, offense date, arrest date, case number, warrant number, counts, status, and charge status.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Surname, given name, and middle name when displayed. |

| Release date | Release information if the person has been released and the field is public. |

| Bond amount and type | Bond fee, bond amount, bond type, or bond document link if records exist. |
| Court fields | Court name, court type, court time, case number, or case number fields. |
| Warrant number | A warrant-related field if the booking record exposes it. |

Note: Roster fields can help locate a case, but the official charge outcome must come from the court record.
Grant County Booking Records
A person arrested in Grant County may be transported to the detention center, booked, photographed if a public roster displays a mugshot, assigned a booking number, screened for housing, and listed with charges and bond information if those fields are public. The arresting agency can be the sheriff, a city police department, Kentucky State Police, or another agency. A roster entry may also include court information if the jail system receives it from the court or booking workflow.
Bond questions are handled through the jail or Pretrial contact route noted by the detention center. Court dates, filed charges, amended charges, pleas, dispositions, and sentences are court records. The Circuit Court Clerk handles District and Circuit case records at the Grant County Judicial Center. A person checking a jail booking should use the case number, court name, charge text, or warrant number from the roster to search the court record if public access allows.
| Custody Question | Best Source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person currently in jail? | JailTracker, 365Labs, or jail phone | The jail owns current custody data. |
| What charge was filed in court? | KYeCourts or Circuit Court Clerk | The court file controls filed charges and changes. |
| Is there a bench warrant? | District or Circuit Court Clerk | Court-issued warrants tie back to the case. |
| Was the person convicted? | Criminal case disposition | Booking charge is not a conviction. |
