This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot check live custody, obtain an official booking record, release anyone, or post bond. Contact the government office that holds the record for those services.
Choose the Record Custodian
The jail and Sheriff are separate Barren County records systems. For a jail-created admission, release, bond-processing record, inmate register, or booking photograph, begin with the County Jailer at the detention center. The research did not verify public records-office hours or a jail information phone number, so confirm the current contact method through the official jail site before visiting.

Tammie Branstetter, Fiscal Court Clerk/Finance Officer, is listed at 117 North Public Square, Suite 3A, Glasgow, KY 42141; phone 270-651-3338; email finance@barrencountyky.gov. The county records page provides the current policy and request form.
- For a county mugshot, booking event, recent arrest path, roster limitation, or lawful correction process, use the home page.
- For a wanted notice or a safe warrant-check route, see Most Wanted Fugitives.
- For a Glasgow Police record, Cave City Police record, or Park City routing detail, use the matching city page in the footer.
