Run a Background Check: Search for Nelson County Jail Records & Warrants
In this article we intend to show you in the most concise manner how to find Nelson County jail records, warrant and court dockets so as to enable you to assess if a person of interest to you has a criminal history and, so, must be kept away from you and from your loved ones.
Running an arrest search
The website of the local detention center has an inmate search tool through which you can locate current detainees by name. Each name that appears in the database comes with a mugshot, physical description and personal details, booking and release date, offense date, arresting agency, bond amount and next court date.
If you want to conduct a more extensive search for Kentucky arrest records, refer to the offender online lookup maintained by the KY Department of Corrections. It lets you search for inmates in state prisons. By using the advanced search option, you can focus your inquiry on correctional facilities in each county.
Inquiring about outstanding warrants

You can also turn to your local police department and garner information on wanted people in their area of Jurisdiction. For example, you can turn to Bardstown Police and file an open record request.
