LaRue County Scheduled Release Dates
A projected date is a calculation based on facts known at that time. An actual release date records the event after custody ends. Kentucky records can also show a parole eligibility date, a proposed parole release date, a minimum expiration date, or a maximum expiration date. None should be silently relabeled as the day a person will walk out.
Custody type sets the source. LaRue County Detention Center and the sentencing court are the right sources for a local pretrial case or local sentence. Kentucky DOC controls a state sentence calculation, including for a state inmate housed in the county jail. BOP handles federal sentence dates.
A person can leave the LaRue jail yet remain in custody after a transfer. Another agency hold can also prevent return to the community. Always read the release type, destination, and status with the date.
Find a LaRue County Release Date
The search should begin with the last confirmed custodian. Using the wrong system can produce a false no-result or a date that belongs to another part of the sentence.
- Decide whether the person is a local detainee, a Kentucky state offender, or a federal prisoner.
- For a state offender, open Kentucky Online Offender Lookup and search by DOC number when known.
- Use a limited name query when no number is available. Kentucky recommends a last name and first initial before adding filters.
- Open the correct detail and record status, location, Expected TTS, minimum expiration, maximum expiration, and parole eligibility separately.
- Check parole-history fields without treating a favorable action or proposed date as completed release.
- Near the date, inspect Kentucky DOC Daily Releases and recheck status.
- For a local case, ask the jail and LaRue Circuit Clerk for the existing sentence, order, and release record.

LaRue County KOOL Date Fields
KOOL’s advanced search includes Projected Release Date From / To. A person-level record can use more precise labels. Read each field in its own context.
| KOOL field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Expected Time To Serve | A sentence calculation, not proof of the exit event. |
| Minimum Expiration of Sentence Date | The credit-adjusted good-time release marker when shown. |
| Maximum Expiration of Sentence Date | An outside sentence-expiration marker. |
| Parole Eligibility Date | The review threshold, not a parole grant. |
| Proposed Release Date | A parole-history date that remains subject to later events. |
| Status and location | The custody or supervision context needed to interpret all dates. |
KOOL says it updates four times daily and warns that recent information may not be final. Too many incorrect search details can suppress the right result. When a calculation is absent or disputed, request the underlying offender and sentence-calculation record instead of building a private estimate.
Note: A future sentence date does not prove current custody, and a past parole eligibility date does not prove parole was granted.
Kentucky Credits and LaRue Releases
KRS 197.045 governs major Kentucky sentence credits. It allows qualifying good-behavior credit of up to ten days for each month served. It also provides specified educational credit, qualifying program credit, and certain meritorious credit. Eligibility rules apply, and misconduct can cause loss or denial. Consecutive sentences are combined for credit and expiration calculations.
KRS 532.120 governs sentence terms and prior-confinement credit. Corrected jail credit, aggregated terms, an amended judgment, or a successful calculation challenge can move the recorded date. A reader should not subtract a flat fraction from the imposed sentence.
For a qualified state inmate housed at LaRue County Detention Center, 501 KAR 2:060 connects county-jail reporting and qualifying credits to DOC authority and policy. The jail must report transfers and detainers. LaRue staff do not independently create a state sentence date.
Why LaRue Release Dates Change
A computed release date responds to later legal and administrative events. Several can affect the same record, which is why a single old screenshot is weak evidence.
| Change | Possible effect |
|---|---|
| Credits earned or restored | May move an eligible minimum date earlier. |
| Credit lost or denied | May move the calculation later. |
| Prior-custody correction | Can revise time credited to the sentence. |
| Consecutive sentences | Aggregated terms alter expiration calculations. |
| Parole action | A recommendation, denial, deferment, or rescission changes the path, but is not itself release. |
| Detainer or hold | Can cause transfer to another authority rather than community release. |
| Court order | Shock probation, an amended judgment, or another order can change the controlling term. |
| Revocation or new case | Can return a person to custody or alter the expected date. |
No LaRue-specific weekend-release statute or written local good-time policy was found. A weekend or holiday does not justify guessing a different day. Ask the responsible jail or DOC office about the actual processing record.
Kentucky Violent-Offender Date Rules
KRS 439.3401 defines covered violent offenses and has historically used an 85-percent service threshold for specified people. The rule depends on the offense, offense date, classification, statutory exceptions, and later amendments. It is inaccurate to say that every violent offender serves 85 percent.
Parole eligibility is also distinct from expiration. Effective July 15, 2026, KRS 439.340 changed eligibility for certain nonviolent Class D felony sentences. Eligibility permits Board review. It does not promise parole or establish the physical exit date.
A proposed release date in parole history remains conditional. A Board action can be deferred, rescinded, or followed by another custody event. The later DOC status and dated release report are stronger proof that release was processed.
July 2026 Kentucky Date Recalculations
Kentucky projected and parole dates are especially volatile in July 2026. The Kentucky DOC Victim Services notice describes a Franklin Circuit Court ruling and recalculation of parole eligibility for some people previously treated under an 85-percent threshold. DOC says it is appealing. Further change may follow.
This live dispute can make an older KOOL capture materially wrong. Pair the current person-level fields with the current statute and official notice close to the date. Never reuse an old percentage or date without checking the offense context and present agency record.
Note: Current official fields are more reliable than a saved screenshot while the state recalculates affected parole eligibility dates.
LaRue Local Cases Without Set Dates
A pretrial detainee usually lacks a computed sentence-expiration date. Release can depend on bond, Pretrial Services, a later hearing, dismissal, a plea, or another order. The LaRue Circuit Clerk maintains District and Circuit records, but jurisdiction changes with the case. District Court handles misdemeanors, arraignments, traffic matters, and felony probable-cause proceedings. A felony prosecution later proceeds in Circuit Court.
The court file can show a bond order, disposition, sentence, probation order, revocation, or amended judgment. Yet a signed order is not the same as physical release. Jail staff must process it, and another hold can intervene. Pair the court event with the jail booking and release record. Ask for the existing date, time, authority, and destination fields rather than asking the custodian to predict when someone will leave.
A locally sentenced person also should not be assigned a state KOOL date unless Kentucky DOC controls that sentence. Conversely, a state inmate housed at LaRue County Detention Center remains subject to DOC computation. The building does not determine which agency owns the sentence record.
Confirm LaRue County Actual Release
Near an expected date, return to KOOL and review the Daily Releases archive. If the person is locally held, call LaRue County Detention Center at 270-358-9876 and request the custodian’s process for an existing release record. A LaRue court order explains legal authority, while the jail record confirms execution.
A VINELink Release Check can supply a custody-change alert. It is not a certified record and can lag. For federal custody, use BOP. For a person leaving LaRue under another agency hold, identify the receiving agency before calling the event a return to the community.
- Parole
- Conditional release from confinement under supervision.
- Probation
- Court-ordered supervision that may be imposed instead of, or after, confinement.
- Discharge
- An end-of-sentence event under the controlling record.
- Detainer
- A legal hold or request from another authority.
The final check should preserve the actual label, date, releasing facility, release type, and any transfer destination. That evidence answers more than an unsupported prediction.
When the record remains unclear, send a written request for the underlying offender and sentence-calculation material. Include the full name and birth date or offender number. Kentucky DOC’s records process is separate from the county jail’s process. Keep those requests separate so each custodian receives only the records it maintains.
Request a Kentucky Sentence Calculation
When KOOL does not show enough detail, Kentucky DOC’s open-records process is the state-offender fallback. The request must be written. Include the full offender name and date of birth or offender identification number, then ask for the existing offender and sentence-calculation records that support the labeled dates. The public records page accepts email at correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov and also gives postal and fax routes. A focused request helps distinguish prior-confinement credit, aggregated sentences, earned credits, and parole-history entries without asking the custodian to create a new prediction.
Kentucky DOC states a five-business-day response period under KRS 197.025, excluding weekends and legal holidays. It may charge for released copies under its posted schedule. These are DOC record-request terms, not LaRue jail fees. A local booking, county sentence, or court order still belongs with the LaRue detention-center custodian or Circuit Clerk. Sending separate requests to the agencies that maintain each record keeps the resulting dates tied to the right authority.
If a response contains several dates, preserve each original label. Compare the calculation record with current KOOL status and the dated Daily Releases report near the expected event. That final comparison can show whether a projected date remained a forecast, moved after recalculation, or became an actual processed release.
