District 8 Supervision Status
KDOC Probation and Parole, District 8 expressly covers Clark County from its Richmond office. It is not a jail. It supervises people living in the community under probation, parole, mandatory reentry, or related state authority. Physical release can therefore occur while legal supervision continues.
Probation is a court-ordered community sentence. Parole is conditional release from confinement authorized through the Kentucky Parole Board. Mandatory reentry is a statutory supervision period. Final discharge should be used only when an official record says the sentence or supervision ended.
| Status | Source | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Probation | Clark judgment and KOOL | Community sentence under court conditions |
| Parole | Board, Daily Releases, KOOL | Conditional community release |
| Mandatory reentry | KDOC record | Statutory supervision after custody |
| Discharge | Explicit agency or court record | Supervision or sentence ended |
Confirm District 8 Supervision
Search KOOL by legal name and PID or DOC number. Open the detail and read current status, location, supervision fields, and date labels. For probation, also locate the Clark judgment or order through CourtNet and obtain the signed record from the clerk when precision matters.
- Match identity and state number.
- Read the current KOOL status.
- Check the sentencing or revocation order.
- For parole, match the actual KDOC release event.
- Contact District 8 only for proper office routing.
A projected date, parole eligibility month, hearing date, or Board consideration does not prove release. The Clark parole and probation page separates those milestones.

The public office page does not support inventing reporting times, walk-in hours, assigned-officer schedules, or case details. A released person should follow the written supervision plan. For general verification, identify the person carefully and ask which public channel applies.
Formal state custody or release records belong through KDOC Open Records. Include full name and date of birth or offender number, the exact existing record, and a narrow date range. District 8 routes supervision matters; the central custodian handles formal records production.
Clark Probation Court Records
Clark District Court generally handles misdemeanors and preliminary felony stages. Circuit Court handles indicted felonies. A felony can pass through both divisions, so follow the case number and indictment. The signed judgment, probation order, shock-probation order, or revocation record is stronger than a brief docket event.
Clark Circuit is at 859-737-7264 and District at 859-737-7141. Both are at the Governor James Clark Judicial Center, 17 Cleveland Avenue, with researched hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A revocation can return a person to custody. An absconder is a person alleged to have stopped reporting or left supervision without permission; do not infer that label from a stale page.
District 8 Parole Milestones
The Kentucky Parole Board schedule publishes hearing and eligibility material. Kentucky did not provide a verified general public name-searchable database containing all final parole decisions. A hearing listing is process, not release.
After a favorable decision, confirm the actual event through a KDOC Daily Releases report and KOOL. Read the Type of Release and current supervision status. A Board grant can precede processing, placement planning, or another hold. Actual departure and final discharge remain separate.
Clark Programs and Release
Clark County Detention Center lists church services, NA, AA, GED, life skills, 24/7 Dad, and parenting programs. Those are in-custody offerings. They do not prove release, guarantee a sentence credit, or promise post-release enrollment. If a program affected a state calculation, confirm it in the KDOC record.
After release, the written District 8 plan controls required services and reporting. Questions about identification documents should be checked with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and current eligibility rules, not inferred from a jail program list.
Correct District 8 Records
For a KOOL error, use KDOC’s official route and provide the offender number plus the conflicting court or agency record. For a Clark jail release-record error, contact CCDC with the booking number. Corrections should go to the source that maintains the field.
Kentucky documented a VINE vendor issue in 2026 involving false alerts. That supports two-source confirmation. Match a state alert to KOOL and Daily Releases; match a local-jail alert to CCDC and the Clark court. If sources still conflict, report the unresolved difference.
District 8 Status Changes
Supervision status can change after a release. A court may modify probation, KDOC may update an office assignment, the Board may act on parole, or an alleged violation may lead to a warrant and revocation process. A public record should be read as of the check date. Do not use an old office listing to claim that supervision is still active.
When custody resumes, identify who ordered it and where the person is held. A Clark warrant or revocation entry may explain the legal event, while the jail roster shows present local custody. KOOL can show the state status. Each source answers one part, so retain the order and agency result together.
District 8 Release Record Limits
District 8 is not a public directory of every released Clark County resident. Purely local bond-outs with no state supervision may never belong in its records. Federal supervised release belongs to the federal court, and ICE supervision belongs to immigration authorities. Start with the sentence and legal custodian.
Public supervision information also does not expose every case detail. Officer notes, victim data, medical facts, and protected records may not be available. Ask only for the public existing record needed to confirm status or an official end date. If an agency denies or redacts material, preserve its cited basis and use the public court order where appropriate.
District 8 Verification Checklist
Keep the KOOL identifier, status, check date, Clark case number, signed order, release report when applicable, and District 8 contact used. Together, those facts show whether the person left confinement, began supervision, changed offices, or reached discharge. A single old roster screen cannot do that work.
Ask neutral questions and avoid requesting private officer notes. Public verification should focus on current agency status, controlling court authority, and the proper records custodian. If the person is back in custody, switch to the holding agency’s current locator and then obtain the revocation or detention order.
Confirm the current office before travel or reporting, and bring the identifiers needed to distinguish the correct Clark County record.
