How to Contact an Inmate at Bell County Camp (KY)
Trying to stay in touch with someone at Bell County Camp? Start with the facility's visitation scheduling process. Here are the timing rules and what to double-check before you go.
To schedule a visit at Bell County Camp, email bcfc.visitation@ky.gov. That's your starting point for getting a visit on the calendar.
Plan ahead. Visitation requests must be submitted 7 days in advance. Waiting until the last minute can cost you a weekend visit, so send your request as early as possible.
Visitation runs every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Visits are scheduled in two-hour blocks: 9:00 to 11:00 am or 12:00 to 2:00 pm.
Note: Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time for processing and screening. That means 8:45 am for the 9:00 am slot, or 11:45 am for the 12:00 pm slot.
Bell County Camp enforces a visitor dress code. Show up in the wrong clothes and you can be turned away, even with a scheduled visit.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Email bcfc.visitation@ky.gov to schedule a visit
- ✓ Submit your visitation request at least 7 days in advance
- ✓ Choose a weekend visit time (Saturday or Sunday)
- ✓ Pick a two-hour slot: 9:00 to 11:00 am or 12:00 to 2:00 pm
- ✓ Arrive 15 minutes early for processing and screening (8:45 am or 11:45 am)
Before heading over, make sure your clothing meets the facility's dress code. Since entry can be denied for noncompliance, I recommend confirming the current dress expectations when you email to schedule your visit.
- Confirm the lead time requirement by email - Visitation requests must be submitted 7 days in advance, so verify this is still the current rule when you contact bcfc.visitation@ky.gov.
- Verify the weekend schedule and time blocks - Confirm that visits are still Saturday and Sunday, and that the two-hour slots remain 9:00 to 11:00 am and 12:00 to 2:00 pm.
The facility asks visitors to arrive 15 minutes early for processing and screening (8:45 am for the 9:00 am slot, 11:45 am for the 12:00 pm slot). When you schedule, confirm whether there are any specific check-in requirements you should be ready for.
Note: Ask the facility what the dress code currently allows and prohibits. This rule is enforced, and visitors who don't comply can be denied entry.
If you plan to use a Legal Mail Portal or another remote account-based system, expect phone-number verification during setup. Verification can be requested by text or phone call. Confirm whether this process applies to what you're using for Bell County Camp.
