Communication is important, the prison offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
EKCC is a medium security facility situated in the Appalachian Region of Morgan County housing over 1900 inmates. Construction commenced in January 1986 under the supervision of Governor Martha Layne Collins, with the facility designed to be completed in two phases to accommodate the growing need for inmate housing. Phase I began receiving inmates in February 1990, followed by Phase II's completion in December 1991, with both phases costing a total of $73 million. Additionally, a 90-bed minimum security unit exists outside the fence, with the institution occupying 157 acres of land. The architectural design earned the 1990 Kentucky Society of Architects of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Hone Award of Design Excellence.
EKCC runs two impactful programs within its premises. The A.L.P.H.A. (A Life Prisoners Help Alter) dog program is a collaboration between the Morgan County Animal Shelter and EKCC, aiming to provide training and socialization to shelter dogs deemed unadoptable due to behavioral issues. Graduates of this program are eligible for local adoption or may serve as companion dogs for veterans, seniors, and special-needs individuals.
The 4 Paws Puppy Raiser Program, initiated in May 2018, is a partnership between EKCC and 4 Paws for Ability, a non-profit organization based in Ohio, specializing in providing service dogs to children and veterans with various needs and disabilities. Inmates at EKCC, totaling 32, reside in a designated dormitory wing and engage in the general care and basic training of puppies up to 23 weeks old. The program, which focuses on breeds suited for service dog training, aims to equip puppies with essential skills such as housebreaking, obedience, crate training, and leash use. The puppies are subsequently transferred to "puppy raisers" within the organization for further training.
EKCC's participation in these programs has garnered recognition for its efficacy, with puppies often exceeding training expectations. Since its inception, EKCC inmates have raised 14 litters, totaling 104 puppies, while caring for an additional 11. This initiative instills a sense of pride among inmates, fostering teamwork, mutual respect, and a commitment to community service. Moreover, inmates are encouraged to pursue further education and engage in other rehabilitative programs.
The dogs bred and raised for 4 Paws are adoptable under specific circumstances if they do not complete their training. 4 Paws actively seeks foster homes and puppy raiser homes for these dogs, contributing to their mission of assisting individuals in need.
EKCC maintains a database of current inmates and their locations within the system. To locate an inmate, begin by using the DOC locator tool, which requires entering the first three letters of the inmate's first and last name, allowing for variations in spelling.
If unable to locate the desired information through free resources, users may opt to use the Arrest Record Search, which requires payment. While this option incurs a small fee, it provides access to the most up-to-date data available.
