Search Southeast State Correctional Complex Releases

Where Southeast State Correctional Complex Releases Go

A person leaving this institution may discharge a sentence, enter parole, begin mandatory reentry supervision, receive shock probation under a court order, transfer to another custodian, or leave under another DOC release type. These outcomes are not interchangeable. The Daily Releases entry should be read exactly as published, then checked against KOOL and the legal record that supports it.

A community destination cannot be inferred from the prison’s location. Southeast State Correctional Complex is in Wheelwright in Floyd County. If KOOL assigns post-release supervision to Pike County, Kentucky DOC Probation and Parole District 11’s Pikeville office becomes the local supervision contact. A person may instead be assigned elsewhere, discharged without ongoing DOC supervision, transferred to another institution, or held under another authority.

Release from Kentucky DOC custody also does not settle every possible legal restraint. A detainer, federal matter, another jurisdiction’s warrant, or approved placement can affect the next step. Daily Releases establishes the DOC event within its scope. It does not necessarily describe the person’s full legal situation or exact destination.

How to Confirm a Southeast State Release

1. Open Kentucky DOC’s Daily Releases archive and choose reports around the expected date. Each report is tied to a calendar date rather than a rolling county release window.
2. Search the PDF for the person’s surname or DOC number and for “Southeast State Correctional Complex.” Confirm that the individual and releasing institution match.
3. Copy the release type exactly. Discharge, parole, mandatory reentry supervision, shock probation, and transfer describe different legal events.
4. Enter the DOC number in KOOL. If the number is unavailable, start with a surname, then add first or middle name, aliases, or other supported fields to separate similar records.
5. Review status, location, sentence dates, parole information, supervision dates, and the listed supervision office. Record the date and time of the lookup.
6. Use Kentucky VINE for a custody-event check or notification. Verify that the selected record belongs to the same person and reporting institution.
7. If the sources conflict or the needed historical document is absent, contact DOC Offender Information Services or submit a precise DOC open-records request.

The Pike County released-inmate search guide explains how state, local, court, federal, and notification sources fit together. Do not substitute the Pike County Detention Center current-inmate list for this state-prison search. That roster covers the county jail, not Southeast State Correctional Complex.

Southeast State Correctional Complex Contact

The official Southeast State Correctional Complex page is the source for current institution contact and operational information.

Facility-level questions and central record questions serve different purposes. For a public offender-record clarification, Kentucky DOC lists Offender Information Services at 502-564-2433. For documentary state offender or discharge records, use the DOC open-records process rather than sending a county-jail request.

Using KOOL for a Southeast State Offender

Kentucky Offender Online Lookup is the statewide DOC search. Start with a DOC or PID number when one is known because an identifier reduces the risk of confusing similar names. Otherwise, begin with a last name and add a first or middle name only as needed. A shorter spelling or alias search can help when a full-name query fails.

Advanced Search can narrow by Offender Type, DOC number, PID number, Supervision Status, Location Type, Location, County of Supervision, offense data, indictment or conviction details, institution or supervision begin dates, and Projected Release Date From or To. For a person believed to be at Southeast State Correctional Complex, use the institution or location fields that the live system offers. For someone believed to be supervised in Pike after release, search the county of supervision or Pikeville office information.

A detail record can contain a photograph, aliases, identifiers, convictions, sentence length, expected time to serve, minimum expiration or good-time date, parole eligibility date, maximum expiration date, and a parole table. It may also show supervision type, dates, and office. These fields answer different questions. A minimum expiration date, parole eligibility date, or proposed release date is not evidence that the person physically left the institution.

Reading Kentucky DOC Daily Releases

Daily Releases is the clearest standardized public artifact for an actual DOC release found in the Pike research. A report can identify the DOC number, person, release type, facility released from, and highest felony class. It does not provide the underlying court case, exact clock time, supervision conditions, destination, or booking photograph.

Because the archive is date-indexed, begin with the expected date and inspect nearby days if the estimate was uncertain. Search the document itself rather than relying only on a web search result. Confirm that Southeast State Correctional Complex appears in the released-from field, not merely elsewhere in a record. Save the date, DOC number, and precise type for the next lookup.

Take the DOC number into KOOL and compare the reported status, sentence fields, and supervision. When a legal explanation is needed, locate the conviction county and case record. A court order or judgment can explain shock probation, sentence changes, or another judicial action. For a Parole Board decision, use the Board’s records and schedule sources. Daily Releases confirms what DOC reported; it does not replace those underlying authorities.

Getting a Southeast State Release Record

Kentucky DOC directs open-records requests to correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov or to Department of Corrections, Division of Public Affairs, Attn: Open Records Coordinator, P.O. Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40602. The fax number is 502-564-9575. Give the person’s full name and date of birth or offender ID, the approximate date range, the institution, and the specific existing record requested.

A useful request can identify the release or discharge record, sentence-date record, transfer entry, or another named DOC document. Ask for nonexempt portions and the statutory basis for any withholding. DOC’s published charges are $0.10 for each released paper page, $1 for a CD, and approximately $2.50 for a USB, plus postage. KRS 197.025 supplies the corrections-specific response framework and restrictions.

Do not send this state-prison request to the Pike County Jailer or Pike County Sheriff. Neither operates Southeast State Correctional Complex. Likewise, a court judgment is obtained from the court rather than DOC when the requested item is a judicial record. Keeping the institution, DOC central records, Parole Board, and court routes separate avoids asking one agency to alter or produce another agency’s record.

When a Southeast State Release Connects to Pike

A Pike connection can arise from the underlying case, a home plan, or the county of supervision even though the prison itself is in Floyd County. KOOL is the first public place to look for a supervision type and office. It may identify probation, parole, mandatory reentry supervision, or another status with begin and end dates.

District 11 serves Pike and surrounding eastern Kentucky counties. Its Pikeville office is at 172 Division Street, Suite 336, Pikeville, KY 41501, with phone 606-433-7776 and fax 606-433-7012. Use that office only when the public record assigns supervision there. The presence of a Pike-origin court case does not by itself prove that Pikeville is the current reporting office.

Mandatory reentry supervision deserves precise wording. Under Kentucky law, an eligible person may leave confinement before projected sentence completion under supervision. DOC may report that event in Daily Releases, but it should not automatically be called a discretionary parole grant. Probation and shock probation arise from court authority, while parole comes through the Parole Board’s jurisdiction. See the Pike post-release supervision guide for the different records behind those terms.

Kentucky VINE After a State-Prison Release

Kentucky VINE is the custody-notification layer for participating local jails and adult correctional facilities. Search by name or offender identification number and confirm the institution attached to the selected person. Similar names and multiple records require careful matching. A Pike local record and a DOC record can coexist, so a user tracking both custody layers may need to select and register for each relevant record.

VINE can report custody changes and support notifications, but it does not explain the full legal reason for release. Pair a VINE event with Daily Releases for the DOC type, KOOL for current status or supervision, and the court or Parole Board file when the legal authority matters. An image in KOOL or another source is not a substitute for those release records.

Limits of the Southeast State Release Search

KOOL warns that public data may be incomplete or inaccurate and that newer information may not be finalized. Its reported four-times-daily update practice is not a promise that a specific event will appear within a fixed number of hours. Note the lookup time and confirm with another official source.

Official sources did not establish an exact daily release time, public exit location, transportation plan, family waiting procedure, or property-return process for this page. Check the current facility page or contact Kentucky DOC rather than inferring operations. Finally, do not treat a transfer as community release, a photo as proof of release, or absence from KOOL as proof that no DOC history exists. The affirmative release event and its responsible agency remain the key evidence.
