How to Visit Bell County Camp (KY)

To schedule a visit at Bell County Camp, email bcfc.visitation@ky.gov. That's your starting point.

Submit your request at least seven days in advance. Wait too long and you'll miss the weekend you wanted.

Visitation runs every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. You'll choose a two-hour block when you request your appointment: either 9:00 am to 11:00 am or 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

The facility posts a 2026 visitation calendar PDF that assigns dates based on whether the inmate's ID is odd or even. Check that calendar before emailing your request.

1. Email your visit request at bcfc.visitation@ky.gov to schedule an appointment.
2. Send it at least 7 days ahead since requests must be submitted seven days in advance.
3. Choose a weekend and a time block because visitation runs Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm in two-hour windows (9:00 am to 11:00 am, or 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm).
4. Arrive 15 minutes early for screening by showing up at 8:45 am for the morning block or 11:45 am for the afternoon block.

Before picking a date, review the facility's 2026 visitation calendar PDF. Visitation dates are assigned based on whether the inmate's ID ends in an odd or even number.
