District 13 Supervision Status
Kentucky DOC Probation and Parole administers community supervision statewide. District 13 serves Owensboro and Daviess County. It is not a jail and holds no inmate population. A released state prisoner may be assigned there for parole or mandatory reentry supervision. A court can also order probation without a prison release. The same office can therefore appear in records arising from different legal paths.
A KOOL location reading “District 13 - Owensboro, Daviess County” points to supervision, not incarceration. It does not establish the former facility, release time, or sentence end. Read the status, parole history, conviction fields, and dates together. If the person is instead listed at Daviess County Detention Center or another institution, the record describes custody rather than District 13 community placement.
| Status | What it means | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Parole | Conditional release under Board authority | Sentence discharge |
| Probation | Court-ordered community supervision | Prior prison confinement |
| Mandatory reentry supervision | Statutory supervised release | A parole grant |
Confirm District 13 Release
Use Kentucky Offender Online Lookup for the person’s state correctional status. Search with the least detail needed, then match DOC number, convictions, and location. The name alone can select a namesake. Save the lookup date because supervision and custody fields can change.
- Find the correct KOOL identity and DOC number.
- Read the current status and supervision location exactly.
- Review the Parole Information table for hearing action and dates.
- Check the DOC Daily Releases archive for the actual state release event.
- Contact District 13 when an official status needs current agency confirmation.
District 13 placement confirms supervision, not the exact time someone walked out of a jail or prison.
The Daviess County release search connects a District 13 status to the county release record, court order, and other custody systems.
District 13 Records Contact
The official district page and statewide directory are the right sources for current contact details. Personnel can change, so ask the office for the assigned unit rather than relying on an old staff name. Give the full name and DOC number when available. Do not ask an officer to resolve a county jail booking or federal custody event outside the office’s authority.

For a formal DOC or Parole Board record, use the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet open-records route. A focused request can identify the person, DOC number, event date, and desired supervision-start or discharge field. Some content may be withheld or redacted. KOOL usually supplies the public status needed for a basic verification.
Parole Versus Daviess Probation
Parole follows confinement and a release action. Probation is imposed by a court and can begin without a prison term. Both involve conditions in the community, but the authorizing record differs. The Parole Board and DOC history matter for parole. The Daviess Circuit or District Court judgment matters for probation.
A parole eligibility date is only the point when review may occur. A proposed date can still change. A court’s probation order establishes the term but does not prove the person was first held at DCDC. For an executed state release, pair KOOL with Daily Releases. For a local probation disposition, obtain the court order from the Daviess Circuit Court Clerk.
- Eligibility
- The point when parole consideration can occur, not release.
- Discharge
- The recorded end of a custody or supervision status.
- Absconder
- A person alleged to have stopped reporting or left supervision without authorization.
- Revocation
- An official action returning a supervised person to a stricter status or custody.
District 13 Parole History
KOOL’s parole table can show Hearing Date, Hearing Action, Months Deferred, Next Parole Eligibility Date, and Proposed Release Date. These columns record process. “Parole Recommended” is not the same as completed release. “Deferred” means the matter was put off. A detainer, release planning, later Board action, or another legal event can still affect a proposed date.
The Kentucky Parole Board schedule page publishes monthly schedules and eligibility lists. A hearing may occur before the eligibility month. The list is not a released-person roster. For a decision not posted, request the written record by full name, DOC number, and hearing date through the Board’s official records channel.
Mandatory Reentry in Daviess
Mandatory reentry supervision must be kept separate from discretionary parole. Kentucky law generally provides a qualifying supervised period before projected sentence completion, subject to statutory exceptions. It can begin even when the Board did not grant parole. The official Daily Releases type and KOOL status should control the description.
Someone assigned to District 13 under mandatory reentry has left confinement but has not simply reached an unconditional sentence end. Conditions and supervision remain. If the record later shows discharge, capture that date separately from the prison or jail release date. Those two events answer different questions.
Daviess Supervision Violations
A missed report or alleged violation does not by itself prove revocation. The sequence can include an officer response, warrant or court action, detention, and an official ruling. KOOL may show a changed status, while court or Board records explain the legal action. Do not infer present custody solely from an old absconder label.
For warrants handled by the sheriff, use the official Daviess County Sheriff channel. For a DCDC booking, use the jail record. District 13 handles the supervision relationship. Keeping those roles separate avoids asking the sheriff for a DOC discharge sheet or asking a probation office for a county booking record.
District 13 Reentry Resources
The 2025 District 13 Reentry Resource Manual identifies the Owensboro office and regional coordination contacts. It is a navigational resource, not proof of a particular person’s release or participation. Staff assignments can change, so begin with the district office.
DCDC also describes local education, cognitive, ministry, and reentry programming. Completion of a program may appear in institutional or sentence records, but it does not establish that supervision ended. District 13’s current status and the formal discharge record remain the proper evidence.
DCDC Property After Supervision
A person released from DCDC to District 13 may still face very short property steps at the jail. The 2026 handbook requires a detailed written property complaint within 24 hours after release. Property left more than two weeks can be treated as abandoned. The signed property-release sheet is scanned into JailTracker and may be requested in a dispute.
District 13 does not maintain DCDC property records. Contact the jail for the custody episode and property sheet. This local distinction matters because the supervision office begins its role after release, while the jail retains records of what occurred at departure.
District 13 Verification Conflicts
Kentucky’s systems can record related events on different schedules. KOOL states that corrections entries and accuracy work are updated daily, but that cadence cannot be assigned to DCDC JailTracker. A Daily Releases PDF is tied to a report date, while a supervision location reflects a current or later DOC status. Preserve the source date and field label when comparing them.
A person can also have both a local-jail VINE record and a Kentucky DOC VINE record. Kentucky DOC advises searching or registering on both because their event coverage differs. One may report the jail departure while the other follows the state sentence or supervision transition. Neither record should be silently replaced by the District 13 office name.
If an alert, KOOL result, or release PDF conflicts, first match the DOC number and custody episode. Then call the authority responsible for that event. DCDC answers the local departure question. Kentucky DOC answers the state release type and supervision status. District 13 answers current community-supervision routing within the information it may lawfully disclose.
District 13 Supervision Discharge
Release from confinement and discharge from supervision are separate milestones. A person may leave prison or DCDC and begin parole, probation, or mandatory reentry supervision in District 13. The later end of that supervision has its own date and record. Do not use the jail release date as the supervision discharge date.
When the end status matters, save the current KOOL result and request the relevant DOC record if the public fields are unclear. A court order may control the end of probation, while a state correctional record may control a parole or reentry status. Exact labels prevent the broad word “released” from hiding which obligation ended.
