Pendleton Jailer Office
The official Pendleton County Jailer page names Jailer Tony Gillespie and lists the jailer phone number as 859-654-4444. It does not identify a separate jail building with beds. The more direct custody statement appears on the Pendleton sheriff Prisoner's and Wanted Persons page, which says Pendleton County does not operate a detention facility and that adult prisoners are transported to Bourbon County Detention Center in Paris.
For that reason, the Pendleton County Jailer / Prisoner Transport Office should be read as a transport and court-movement function, not as a detention center. No one is housed at this office. There is no Pendleton jail roster, no Pendleton jail visitation schedule, no Pendleton commissary account, and no Pendleton jail bed count for this location. The county office address at 233 Main St, Falmouth, KY 41040 may be used as a county courthouse, fiscal court, or county office reference with that caveat. It should not be presented as a jail housing address.

Pendleton Has No Jail Beds
Pendleton County has zero active detention beds in the research record because the sheriff says the county does not operate a detention facility. Adult prisoners are transported to Bourbon County Regional Detention Center. That means a search for a person arrested in Pendleton County should not stop when no Pendleton jail roster appears. The correct first custody question is whether the person has been received at Bourbon, moved to court, released on bond, transferred to Kentucky DOC custody, or held for another agency.
The Bourbon facility is the jail that carries the regional bed and population data. The KY DOC weekly jail report dated 06/04/2026 lists Bourbon with 197 total beds and 212 reported inmates. Those are Bourbon jail figures, not a Pendleton-only population count. Pendleton-only detainee counts at Bourbon were not found in official sources.
| Question | Correct Local Answer | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Is this a jail? | No | No one is housed at the Pendleton jailer office. |
| Where are adult prisoners held? | Bourbon County Regional Detention Center | Pendleton sheriff identifies Bourbon as the detention destination. |
| Who handles court appearances? | Pendleton County Jailer and staff | The sheriff page assigns all court appearances to the jailer. |
| Where is the online roster? | Bourbon current inmate portal | Pendleton has no separate jail roster. |
Pendleton Custody Lookup
Because this office is not a jail, lookup must route by custody type. For a new adult arrest from Pendleton County, check Bourbon County Regional Detention Center first. Bourbon's official site links the current inmate portal and says it provides charges and bond information for current detainees. If the portal does not load or the name is missing, call Bourbon at 859-987-2137 or the Pendleton County Jailer at 859-654-4444.
- Start with the Pendleton sheriff custody statement to confirm there is no local jail.
- Search the Bourbon current inmate portal for the adult detainee.
- Call Bourbon for charge, bond, visit, or commissary questions tied to jail custody.
- Call the Pendleton County Jailer for current inmate questions or transport-related routing.
- Use KOOL, BOP, or ICE if the person is in state, federal, or immigration custody.
A current jail charge is not the same as a final court record. The Pendleton sheriff page directs court-date questions to the Pendleton County Circuit Clerk. For court files after booking, use KYeCourts or the clerk rather than treating the Bourbon jail portal as the final source.
Pendleton Prisoner Transport
The Pendleton sheriff page splits prisoner movement by time and type of transport. The jailer and staff handle transports from 5 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, in-state transports, and all court appearances. The sheriff handles transports from 8 p.m.-5 a.m. Monday-Friday, all weekend hours, and out-of-state extraditions. Extradition means moving a person from another state or jurisdiction under legal authority.
KRS 71.065 is relevant because it addresses jail personnel and transportation officers in a county without a jail. Pendleton County fits that local pattern. The county still has arrests, court appearances, prisoner movement, and jailer duties, even though it does not maintain its own adult detention facility.
| Transport Function | Responsible Office | Published Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday daytime transports | Pendleton County Jailer and staff | 5 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday |
| In-state transports | Pendleton County Jailer and staff | All in-state transports |
| Court appearances | Pendleton County Jailer and staff | All court appearances |
| Nights and weekends | Pendleton County Sheriff's Office | 8 p.m.-5 a.m. weekdays and all weekend hours |
| Out-of-state extraditions | Pendleton County Sheriff's Office | Handled by sheriff |

Pendleton Jailer Visits
There is no visitation schedule for the Pendleton County Jailer / Prisoner Transport Office because the office has no inmate housing. A visit request for an adult detainee from Pendleton County belongs with Bourbon County Regional Detention Center and its InmateSales scheduling process. A court appearance in Falmouth is different from a jail visit in Paris, and public access to a hearing does not create jail visitation rights.
| Visit or Appearance | Where It Routes | Published Status |
|---|---|---|
| Jailer office visitation | Not available | No housing, no visit schedule |
| Adult jail visitation | Bourbon County Regional Detention Center | Use InmateSales scheduling |
| Schedule details | Bourbon / InmateSales | Schedule not published in official text reviewed |
| Court appearance | Pendleton County court | Ask the Circuit Clerk about court dates |
The sheriff page's transport split explains why a person may appear in court in Pendleton County while being housed outside the county. Always confirm both custody location and court schedule before making travel plans.
Pendleton Records Routing
Records are split by custodian. Jail custody records and current detainee information are held by Bourbon County Regional Detention Center. Sheriff records are requested through the Pendleton County Sheriff's Office. Dispatch records route through Kentucky State Police NextRequest because KSP dispatches for Pendleton County. Court files and court dates route through the Pendleton County Circuit Clerk or KYeCourts.

The county records page supports the local distinction between sheriff records, dispatch records, other county records, and court files.
- Jail custody record
- A booking or custody record held by the jail that houses the person.
- Sheriff record
- A law-enforcement record tied to the Pendleton County Sheriff's Office.
- Dispatch record
- A call or dispatch record routed through KSP NextRequest for Pendleton County.
- Court record
- A case file, docket, order, or charge record handled through the court system.
Pendleton State Federal Lookup
The no-jail rule does not mean a person cannot be in custody. It means the lookup path changes. For sentenced Kentucky prisoners or DOC-tracked offenders, use the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. KY DOC says KOOL is updated daily as resources allow, but newer offender data may not be finalized for 120 days. For federal sentenced custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
| Custody Type | Lookup System | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Local adult jail custody | Bourbon current inmate portal | Recent Pendleton arrest or pretrial detention |
| Kentucky DOC custody | KOOL | State sentence, DOC transfer, or DOC-tracked offender |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal sentence or BOP record from 1982 to present |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Immigration custody or ICE detainee search |
For a broader current-custody workflow, see the Pendleton County inmate records process. The key test is custody authority, not just the county where the arrest happened.
No Pendleton Jail Services
The Pendleton County Jailer / Prisoner Transport Office has no jail mail, no commissary vendor, no phone account vendor, and no inmate funds account because it does not house inmates. For an adult held after a Pendleton County arrest, mail, money, phone, chirping, and visit scheduling route to Bourbon County Regional Detention Center and its vendors. Bourbon uses JailFunds for commissary deposits and gift baskets, InmateSales for calls, chirping, communications, and visitation scheduling, and PayMyJailer for jail fees.
Note: Do not send mail or money to a Pendleton office unless the receiving office has confirmed the purpose.
Calling first is important because transport can shift a person's location. A person may be at court, in Bourbon custody, released, moved to DOC custody, held for a federal matter, or no longer in a public current-inmate system.
