Powell 72-Hour Feed Status
No distinct official Powell County three-day release page was found as of July 19, 2026. The review covered Powell County Detention Center navigation, the Cadmus Resident Directory, the PCDC web app, linked social channels, and targeted searches. None supplied a rolling 72-hour switch, a release-photo gallery, published fields, an update schedule, or a retention period.
That negative result must remain narrow. A future feature may appear. For now, the current directory cannot be treated as a historical release archive. A missing name may reflect release, transfer, a different custodian, data lag, a spelling mismatch, expungement, or a portal error. The portal itself failed during research.
Check Powell Three-Day Releases
A bounded request is the closest local equivalent to a 72-hour view. Use calendar dates and times rather than “the last three days” if the request may be read later. Ask PCDC for existing release and transfer entries during that period. If the inquiry concerns one person, add a full name, date of birth, case number, jail identifier, and approximate booking date when known.
- Review the official Resident Directory only for present display status.
- Search Kentucky VINE and compare all plausible local and DOC records.
- Contact PCDC at 606-663-6400 or submit the PCDC records form.
- Search the Powell case in the state court portal for bond, dismissal, sentence, or transfer authority.
- For a KDOC case, review each relevant date in the Daily Releases archive and then compare KOOL.
The wider period reduces the risk of overlooking an event near midnight or during a multi-day office closure. It does not remove the need to confirm the release type and destination.
Powell 72-Hour Record Fields
There are no verified web-feed fields to inventory. The following table instead lists fields worth naming in a PCDC request. The custodian controls what exists, what is public, and what must be redacted.
| Field to request | Use in a 72-hour check |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Links the event to the right admission. |
| Admission date | Separates repeat bookings or similar names. |
| Release date and time | Places departure within the exact three-day span. |
| Authority or release type | Identifies the stated legal basis when recorded. |
| Receiving agency or destination | Distinguishes transfer from release beyond custody. |
Under the Kentucky Open Records Act, request existing nonexempt records rather than answers drafted for the inquiry. PCDC publishes no facility-specific copy fee or guaranteed turnaround. Kentucky law generally requires an agency response within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, though production can take longer when the agency explains why and gives the earliest date.
Weekend Powell Release Checks
A 72-hour period can cross Saturday and Sunday, but Powell research found no official weekend update rule for the current directory. Do not assume a person stays visible for a set number of hours. Court action, jail processing, VINE ingestion, and roster removal may each occur at a different time. Record retrieval times so those stages can be compared.
Holiday timing also matters to records access. The statutory response clock excludes Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. That rule governs the agency response, not the physical release itself. The jail may act on a court order before a clerk counter or records office responds to an inquiry.
| Source | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Powell court order | Legal authority or case disposition. |
| PCDC release entry | Jail departure time, type, and possible destination. |
| VINE event | A timely status change from the feeding system. |
| Current directory | What the live source displays when checked. |
Powell Directory Is Not History
The PCDC web app links back to the same dynamic directory. It does not expose a separate three-day archive. The official PCDC app view captured in the manifest documents the resident-directory tile.

The capture confirms the access path, not release status. No published photo field, removal cadence, or released-person filter can be inferred from it. When a name disappears, search aliases and note the error state before seeking the actual release or transfer record.
Note: Never turn a portal error or an empty current-directory search into a statement that a named person was released.
Powell State Three-Day Window
KDOC Daily Releases provides date-stamped PDFs rather than a rolling county view. For a state-sentenced person, check all three dates that overlap the inquiry. Search the “Released From” field for Powell County Detention Center and compare the DOC number and name. A sheet can distinguish Mandatory Reentry Supervision from a minimum-expiration discharge or another state type.
This route is a Powell-specific exception because PCDC houses some state residents. It must not be broadened to local detainees. A person released on a local bond may never appear in KOOL or a KDOC daily sheet. Conversely, a state event from PCDC may place the person on supervision or send the person under a detainer, not necessarily to an unsupervised community destination.
- Release
- Departure from the named custodian under a stated authority.
- Transfer
- Movement from one custodian to another.
- Detainer
- A request or hold that may send the person to another authority.
- Discharge
- The end of the correctional authority described by the record.
Confirm Powell Release Results
Use the source hierarchy when facts conflict. PCDC is strongest for physical departure from PCDC. The court is strongest for the legal order. KDOC Daily Releases is strongest for the state release category, while KOOL gives the state identity and sentence context. VINE is useful for speed but is not a certified historical ledger.
A sound result states both the fact and its source. “PCDC reports departure at the recorded time under the listed authority” is precise. “The name is gone, so the person is free” is not. A transfer can end the PCDC display while custody continues elsewhere. For same-day focus, use the Powell 24-Hour Releases workflow. For a named person across a longer history, use the home search path.
Keep copies of responses and note when each online source was checked. If an official field conflicts with a source document, ask the office that maintains that field to explain or correct its own record.
Historical Powell Release Records
A three-day inquiry often begins after the current directory has already changed. For a local case, search KCOJ and request the Powell clerk's case file, then use the case number and approximate custody dates in a focused PCDC request. Ask for the release authority and any receiving agency. Those fields help separate community departure from transport to another jail or Kentucky corrections.
For a felony sentence, KOOL may preserve state identifiers and sentence context after the local display changes. The daily archive may then supply the exact state release category. A person held only on a local misdemeanor or pretrial matter may be absent from both sources, which is expected. Later expungement can restrict the public court and agency trail. Do not infer expungement from a blank search. Ask whether a public record exists and accept the custodian's lawful response.
Powell VINE Three-Day Timeline
VINE can fill part of the timing gap when a three-day period crosses a weekend. Search the intended person by name or jail identifier, compare the source facility, and preserve each event's exact wording and time. A local PCDC record and a DOC record may both appear because the jail houses local and state residents. Register for or inspect both rather than treating the first result as the whole custody history.
Release and transfer are different notices. If VINE reports a transfer, find the receiving custodian before describing the outcome. For a release notice, request the PCDC entry or check the state daily sheet that matches the date and custody class. Telephone alerts use a four-digit PIN, and an unanswered call may be retried during a 24-hour period.
Automated notice is useful for speed, not final proof. Kentucky reported a vendor-caused false-alert event in February 2026. A 72-hour reconstruction should therefore place VINE beside the jail, court, KOOL, or Daily Releases record and state which source confirms each stage.
A negative VINE search also needs a dated scope statement. Try the known jail or DOC number, documented aliases, and both records when the service displays a local and state match. If no result remains, report only that the chosen terms produced no match at the recorded time. The absence can reflect a separate custodian, a feed delay, or an identifier problem. It cannot replace the bounded PCDC request or the Powell court review.
