Contacts

Where To Ask

Martin County jail custody usually starts with Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, not a separate Martin County jail building in Inez. For local arrest context, the Martin County Sheriff's Office is the county law enforcement contact. Court records after an arrest are handled through the Martin County Circuit Court Clerk and Kentucky Court of Justice systems.

Use the list below to pick the most likely starting point. Kentucky Open Records Act requests should go to the agency that keeps the record. KRS 61.872 gives the public a right to inspect nonexempt public records, while KRS 61.878 can limit release of protected records.

• For someone in the regional jail, start with jail inmate records and call Big Sandy at 606-297-5245 if the roster is unclear.
• For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and ask the jail or sheriff which custodian handles photo requests.
• For charges and case status, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the Martin County Circuit Court Clerk.
• For a specific facility, use the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center or USP Big Sandy facility page listed in the footer.
• For sentenced Kentucky inmates, search KY DOC KOOL and consider VINELink for custody notifications.
• For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or the ICE detainee locator.
• No official Martin County, KY sheriff app or Big Sandy Regional Detention Center app was found in the research for this site.
