How the Kentucky Legal Mail Portal Works for Bell County Camp (registering, Mail ID, and rules)
Registering for the Kentucky Department of Corrections Legal Mail Portal isn't just about creating a login. You're agreeing to the portal's notice and rules, which are built around safety and contraband-prevention requirements. Read them carefully before submitting anything.
Altered paper is a major safety concern. If you come across paper that looks discolored or seems like it was soaked or sprayed with something, don't send it into a prison. Handle it with care.
Register and log in for Bell County Camp at the facility's Legal Mail Portal page: https://lmp.vendengine.com/visitor_login.php?jail_id=2516.
No special software needed - just a computer, tablet, or phone with an internet connection.
Attorneys registering will need to upload proof of licensure and good standing. This should be an image or PDF from your Bar Association - any jurisdiction works.
Once your account is approved, you'll receive a Mail ID Number for legal mail. It will begin with a letter.
The portal rules are designed to keep contraband out. One key rule: only send documents you generated yourself or through trusted staff. The exception is official documents from another trusted source - birth certificates, death certificates, affidavits, and similar items. Make sure anyone helping prepare legal mail follows this same standard.
Safety warning: If paper appears discolored, soaked, or sprayed with something, do not send it into a prison. Handle it with care.
For time-sensitive or sensitive issues, mail might not be the best option. The portal notice lists alternatives: in-person visits, confidential Zoom visits, and phone calls.
