Bath County Jail Roster Overview
No official Bath County online jail roster, sheriff booking search, jail app, visitation handbook, or detention-center capacity page was located in the official sources used for this build. That is an important local fact. Third-party pages may claim to show Bath booking data, but the official access path is the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL and VINE information, plus direct contact with Sheriff Jessie Stewart, Jailer Earl Willis, and the Bath Circuit Court Clerk when court charges or bond orders are involved.
The official county elected-officials page lists Sheriff Jessie Stewart at P.O. Box 95, Owingsville, KY 40360, phone 606-674-2931, fax 606-674-9290. It lists Jailer Earl Willis at P.O. Box 155, Owingsville, KY 40360, phone 606-674-2713. Court case information, charges, court dates, and dispositions are handled through Circuit Court Clerk Claudette Faudere at the Bath County Judicial Center, 65 Water St., P.O. Box 558, Owingsville, KY 40360, phone 606-674-2186 or 606-674-6821.
Kentucky DOC's KOOL and VINE page is the official statewide starting point for public offender lookup and notification information.
The state page matters for Bath County because the research did not locate a separate local roster that replaces KOOL, VINE, sheriff, jailer, and court-clerk checks.
How to Use Bath County Inmate Lookup Channels
Use KOOL first when the question is current custody location or statewide offender information. DOC says KOOL and VINE include data from county jails, prisons, mental-health facilities, and juvenile detention centers. VINE can provide notifications by phone or email for release, transfer from a county jail, escape, and parole-hearing events. If KOOL has no result and the arrest was recent, call the Bath Jailer or Sheriff because booking data can lag or the person may have been moved.
- Open Kentucky Online Offender Lookup and search with the most exact name available.
- Use aliases, photo-only filtering, gender, location type, or offender type only when those filters help narrow results.
- Review the listed location or facility, offender identifiers, and offense category rather than assuming the person is still in Bath County.
- Use VINE through the DOC page or by calling 1-800-511-1670 for release, transfer, escape, or parole-hearing notifications.
- Call Bath Jailer Earl Willis at 606-674-2713 or Bath Sheriff Jessie Stewart at 606-674-2931 if the arrest is local and no current public result appears.
- Call the Circuit Court Clerk at 606-674-2186 for charges, bond orders, court dates, and court disposition details.
Roster Search Fields
The KOOL search field inventory captured in the research shows name-based and filter-based search options. A specific Bath inmate sample was not used, so do not expect every local booking field to appear in every record. The strongest search practice is to start broad with name information, then narrow by aliases, photo-only records, gender, location type, or offender type if the results are too broad.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last name | Text | No or unspecified | Useful first search field; results can sort by last name and first name. |
| First name | Text | No or unspecified | Helps narrow common last names. |
| Middle name | Text | No | Use when known to distinguish similar names. |
| Search aliases | Checkbox | No | Includes alias names when available. |
| Photos only | Checkbox | No | Limits to records with photos; may exclude relevant records without photos. |
| Gender, location type, offender type | Filter | No | Use cautiously; a transferred person may not be in the expected location category. |
What an Inmate Profile Shows
Official KOOL result snippets may show an offender name, whether a photo is available, current facility or location, DOC or control identifiers, and broad offense categories such as dangerous drugs, stolen property, or weapon offenses. The research did not confirm Bath-specific booking number, bond amount, pod, medical flag, exact mugshot dimensions, or projected-release data from a local sample, so those details should be verified through the current facility or court record.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Offender name | The name returned by KOOL, which may differ from a court caption if aliases or middle names are used. |
| Photo flag | Whether the public result has a photo available. |
| Current facility or location | The county jail, prison, or listed facility tied to the current public record. |
| DOC or control identifiers | Numbers used by state systems for follow-up and matching. |
| Offense category | A broad category, not always the final court charge or conviction. |
| Notification status | VINE can send alerts for release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing events. |
Bath County Custody Contacts
Because no official Bath detention-center facility page, physical jail address, capacity, or visitation schedule was located, the contact block should be treated as a custody-routing block rather than a published jail roster. If KOOL identifies a person in another Kentucky facility, use that facility's official mail, visitation, phone, money, and attorney-visit rules. Do not mail funds, letters, or documents to a Bath P.O. Box unless the Jailer or Sheriff specifically instructs that it is the correct address.

Booking Process in Bath County
A local arrest may be made by the Bath County Sheriff, Kentucky State Police, or a local police agency where applicable. After arrest, initial custody and transport are handled through law-enforcement and jailer channels. A new arrestee may then appear in District Court for arraignment, misdemeanor proceedings, a traffic matter, or a felony probable-cause stage. If the case later becomes a felony indictment, the final felony case moves through Circuit Court.
Booking and court records answer different questions. Custody records can show where a person is held or whether a notification should be set. Court records show the case number, court date, charge, bond order, plea, disposition, sentencing, costs, and failure-to-appear actions. For Bath court details, use KYeCourts, the KCOJ docket portal, or the Circuit Court Clerk. For statewide custody location, use KOOL and VINE.
Kentucky.gov's Department of Corrections profile identifies DOC services and state contact information, including the KOOL Inmate Search service.
The agency profile supports the statewide part of the Bath lookup path when a person has been transferred beyond local custody.
Visitation Hours and Rules
Official Bath County sources did not publish a detention-center visitation schedule, mail policy, phone vendor, commissary vendor, money-deposit procedure, tablet rule, attorney-visitation rule, medical request process, grievance process, or inmate-program handbook. The safest instruction is to identify the current facility first through KOOL, VINE, the Jailer, or the Sheriff, then follow that facility's official rules.
| Facility or Channel | Schedule Located? | Official Source Result |
|---|---|---|
| Bath County local jail | No | No official Bath jail visitation page was located. |
| Bath Sheriff or Jailer | Phone fallback | Call Sheriff 606-674-2931 or Jailer 606-674-2713 for current custody location and rules. |
| State DOC prison or other facility | Varies | Use KOOL to identify the facility, then use the facility's official visitation rules. |
| VINE | Notification service | Call 1-800-511-1670 or use VINELink from the DOC page for custody-event alerts. |
How to Contact an Inmate
Do not assume a Bath County P.O. Box is a mail address for an inmate. If KOOL shows a state prison, regional jail, county jail, mental-health facility, or juvenile detention facility, use that facility's official mail and phone policies. If the person was arrested very recently and no KOOL record appears, call the Bath Jailer. If the question is whether the person has a court date, charge, bond, or disposition, call the Circuit Court Clerk rather than the custody facility.
Attorney visits are facility-specific and may also depend on the court schedule. Counsel should use the holding facility or jailer contact directly. Medical requests and grievances are also facility-specific; no Bath public procedure was located in the official research.
Custody Status vs Court Status
A custody result and a court result can move at different speeds. KOOL or VINE may show that a person is held, transferred, released, or scheduled for a parole-related event. The Bath court record may separately show arraignment, probable-cause hearing, bond order, charge amendment, plea, sentence, costs, or failure-to-appear action. If a person was released from custody, the court case may still be pending. If a court case shows a charge, the person may not currently be in custody.
For Bath County, the practical split is simple: use Sheriff, Jailer, KOOL, and VINE for custody location and custody-event notices; use the Circuit Court Clerk, KYeCourts, and dockets for court dates, charge records, bond orders, and dispositions. That division prevents a common mistake: treating a jail lookup as the final criminal case file.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
No official Bath commissary vendor, deposit limit, kiosk address, online deposit link, or fee schedule was located. The correct next step is to confirm the current holding facility, then use only that facility's official money procedure. If the person has been transferred from a county jail to a state DOC facility, county instructions may no longer apply.
Bath County court payments are separate from inmate funds. Fines, costs, restitution, and bond questions go through court or jail/court instructions, and ePay may apply to some court obligations. Commissary money does not satisfy a court fine, and a court payment does not create a jail commissary balance. When in doubt, ask the Circuit Court Clerk for court money and the facility or Jailer for inmate money.
