Bath County Roster Status
No official Bath County online inmate roster was located in the county sources reviewed for this build. Kentucky corrections material also identifies Bath County Jail as closed in custody-location snippets, while the Bath County elected-officials page still lists a sheriff and a county jailer. That mix is important. The public should not be told to search a Bath County Jail roster that the county does not publish, and a missing Bath result does not mean a person was not arrested or moved.
The local custody path starts with the Bath County elected officials page, which lists Sheriff Jessie Stewart and Jailer Earl Willis. The next practical online check is the Rowan County Detention Center page because Rowan publishes an official JailTracker link and has been identified as a receiving jail for some Bath-area arrests. That still is not an exclusive Bath County contract page. Verify the current housing jail before sending money, planning a visit, or assuming a person is at Rowan.
Closed-jail check: Bath County has no current official county roster in the research. Start with Bath officials, then confirm the receiving jail.
Bath County Custody Contacts
When the question is how do I find someone in the Bath County jail, the accurate answer is to find out which jail has custody first. A Bath County arrest may involve the sheriff, Owingsville police, Kentucky State Police, or another agency. The person may then be taken to a receiving detention center. Call with the person's full name, date of birth, arrest date, arresting agency if known, and any alias or spelling variant.
Bath County Sheriff Jessie Stewart
P.O. Box 95
Owingsville, KY 40360
(606) 674-2931
Fax: (606) 674-9290
Bath County Jailer Earl Willis
P.O. Box 155
Owingsville, KY 40360
(606) 674-2713
Use for local custody routing questions.
No official Bath County sheriff or Owingsville police mobile app with inmate or warrant lookup was located during research; use the sheriff and jailer phone numbers, receiving-jail roster, KOOL, VINE, and the court clerk instead.
Use Bath County Jail Records
The working Bath County inmate records chain should be used in order. Phone confirmation comes first because the county does not publish a live Bath-branded roster. Rowan JailTracker is useful only after the person may be housed at Rowan County Detention Center. State and federal systems cover different custody levels, so one search can miss a person who belongs in another system.
- Call the Bath County Sheriff at (606) 674-2931 or the Bath County Jailer at (606) 674-2713 to ask which detention center received the person.
- If Rowan is possible, open the Rowan County JailTracker roster from the official Rowan detention-center page.
- Search broad name variants. JailTracker is a dynamic app, and the captured static source did not expose fixed search fields.
- Check Kentucky Online Offender Lookup for sentenced or KDOC-tracked custody and Kentucky VINE for custody notifications.
- Use the BOP inmate locator for federal custody and ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
Bath County Roster Fields
The Bath County roster search-field table is a gap, not a normal field list, because no official Bath County online roster was found. The official Rowan JailTracker URL is a Blazor app. Static inspection showed the roster shell and an error/reload state, but no plain-text search controls. KOOL, by contrast, exposes statewide search filters that can help after a transfer, sentence, or KDOC-tracked hold.
| Resource | Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bath County roster | Not published | None located | Not available | No official current Bath County online roster was located. |
| Rowan JailTracker | Not visible in static inspection | Dynamic app | Unspecified | Official Rowan link for current inmates; browser execution may be required. |
| KOOL | Last, first, middle name | Text | Optional | Use for KDOC-tracked inmates and sentenced state custody. |
| KOOL | Photos only, aliases, offender type, location | Filters | Optional | Location filters can include open and closed Kentucky jail locations. |
Bath County Record Details
What does a roster record show depends on the system that returns the match. A Bath County receiving jail record may show current custody and booking facts if the jail publishes them. The research could not capture a Rowan sample profile from static source, so exact Rowan profile fields should not be promised. KOOL and court dockets have clearer captured fields, and they answer different questions than a county roster.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Roster custody entry | If available from a receiving jail, it may identify a current inmate, booking event, charges, bond, or release status, but Bath County does not publish its own current entry list. |
| KOOL offender name | Last, first, and middle name fields used for statewide Kentucky corrections searches. |
| PID / offender PID | KDOC identifier shown in KOOL snippets and useful when names are common. |
| Location | Current KDOC or jail location when available; closed locations can also appear in filters or history. |
| Offender type | Statewide category such as incarcerated inmates, not a Bath County roster field. |
| Court docket fields | County, Circuit or District division, date, courtroom, and subdivision for Bath County court events. |
Bath County Custody Systems
County jail custody, state custody, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate. A person arrested in Bath County may be in a receiving county jail while charges are pending. If a case results in a Kentucky state sentence or KDOC-tracked status, the person may later be found through KOOL instead of a local roster. Federal cases use BOP tools, and immigration detention uses ICE ODLS. VINE is a notification layer, not a full court-record or jail-record archive.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bath arrest, current local custody | Bath Sheriff, Bath Jailer, then receiving jail | Confirm where the person was taken after arrest. |
| Possible Rowan housing | Rowan County JailTracker | Search current inmates only when Rowan is likely. |
| Sentenced Kentucky custody | Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL | Find state offenders, KDOC IDs, location, and photo availability. |
| Federal custody | Federal BOP locator | Search federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Search by A-number or biographical data when ICE custody is involved. |
Bath County Jail Facility
Bath County's practical facility page for this build is Rowan County Detention Center because it has an official detention-center page, a public JailTracker link, and detailed inmate-service rules. It is not described as a Bath County-owned jail. The research found no Bath County page naming Rowan as the exclusive housing jail, so the first step remains local verification with Bath officials.
Rowan County Detention Center
1075 S. Tolliver Rd.
Morehead, KY 40351
(606) 784-8457
Lobby/admin hours: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
KDOC's June 4, 2026 Weekly Jail Report lists Rowan with 275 total jail beds and 256 reported inmates. That population included secure male, secure female, non-secure male, and non-secure female categories, along with Class D inmates, controlled-intake inmates, and parole violators. Those are Rowan facility figures, not a Bath-only jail population.
Bath County Booking Timeline
A Bath County arrest starts with the arresting agency. That may be the sheriff, Owingsville police, Kentucky State Police, or another lawful agency. Because the county's own active jail roster was not located, the person may be transported to a receiving detention center after arrest or short local processing. Intake usually includes identity confirmation, property inventory, search, fingerprints, booking photo where the facility requires one, charge or warrant entry, health screening, classification, and housing assignment.
New bookings may not appear online right away. The delay can be more confusing in a closed-jail county because the person may be physically moved before a public roster entry loads. If the Rowan search fails, call Bath officials again with the spelling, birth date, arresting agency, and approximate arrest time. If charges have reached court, the Bath County Judicial Center handles the court-record side even when the person is housed outside Bath County.
Bath County Visit Rules
Visitation rules depend on the receiving jail. Rowan County Detention Center's inmate-services page gives the local rules available in the research: on-site video visitation is available every day and can be scheduled by the inmate or a family member at a kiosk. A visitor should confirm custody first because those rules apply to Rowan, not to any other jail Bath officials might name.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Tuesday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Wednesday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Thursday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Friday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Saturday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
| Sunday | 8 a.m.-8 p.m. | On-site video visitation at Rowan |
Bath County Inmate Contact
Mail, phone, and money rules also follow the receiving jail. Rowan's official inmate-services page gives money-order instructions but did not publish a complete personal-mail format, postcard rule, legal-mail rule, or scanned-mail vendor in the inspected text. Confirm personal mail rules with the facility before sending anything. Rowan lists phone time through InmateSales, online or by phone, and says only the inmate name is needed for phone time.
- Booking
- The jail intake event after arrest.
- Classification
- The custody review that helps place a person in housing and security categories.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may prevent release.
- VINE
- Kentucky's free custody notification service for release, transfer, escape, and parole-hearing alerts.
Bath County Money Rules
For people confirmed at Rowan, commissary money orders may be mailed to Rowan County Detention Center or RCDC with the inmate name in the memo and the sender or purchaser name included. A front-lobby cash machine accepts $5 to $100 bills and is available at all hours. Rowan also lists JailFunds online and by phone for commissary deposits. These are Rowan rules and should not be applied to another receiving jail without confirmation.
| Service | Documented Rule |
|---|---|
| Money order | Mail to Rowan County Detention Center or RCDC with inmate name in memo and sender name included. |
| Lobby cash machine | Accepts $5-$100 bills and is available 24/7. |
| Online/phone commissary | JailFunds at www.jailfunds.com or 855-836-3364. |
| Property | No outside property may be brought in; clothing and other property must be bought through commissary. |
Note: Confirm the housing jail and custody status before sending money, scheduling a visit, or relying on a roster result.
