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.
Originally established as a state mental hospital, the institution known as NTC underwent several transformations throughout its history. From 1941 to 1946, the United States Army managed the facility to care for soldiers with psychiatric illnesses, also housing German prisoners of war. In 1946, control returned to the state for a symbolic sum of $1, with employees contributing 100 pennies toward the purchase. It operated as the Kentucky State Hospital until 1977, when it transitioned to the Bureau of Social Services, serving as the Danville Youth Development Center for juvenile offenders from 1977 to 1983.
In January 1983, the Kentucky Department of Corrections assumed control of the property, spanning 551 acres and around 50 structures. Initially conceived as a minimum-security institution for fewer than 500 inmates, Northpoint's mission shifted rapidly to accommodate a medium-security facility for approximately 700 inmates. Presently, it functions as a medium-security institution with a bed capacity of 1,256 inmates, comprising 1,108 general population medium-security beds, 60 special management beds, and 54 minimum-security beds.
The inmate housing at Northpoint Training Center reflects its security classification. General population inmates reside in six open-bay dormitories, while those in the Special Management Unit occupy single cells in a separate 60-bed structure. The perimeter is secured by a double 12-foot fence topped with razor wire and equipped with sensor systems, four armed wall towers, and regular patrols. Additionally, approximately 54 minimum-security inmates are housed in two structures outside the secure perimeter.
The facility's transition from a mental hospital to a correctional institution underscores its adaptability and the evolving needs of the criminal justice system. Today, Northpoint Training Center continues to fulfill its mission of providing secure confinement and rehabilitation opportunities for medium-security offenders, contributing to public safety and offender reintegration efforts in Kentucky.
