How to Contact an Inmate at Green River Corr. Complex (KY)
Staying in touch with someone at Green River Correctional Complex comes down to two main options: an in-person visit on Saturday or a scheduled video visit. Here are the exact rules and timelines you need to know.
Green River Correctional Complex offers in-person visitation on Saturdays only. Hours run from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm, but you must arrive before 11:30 am to get in. When things run smoothly, a regular visit can last through the full visitation window. If the visiting area hits capacity and others are waiting, the Shift Supervisor may shorten visits on a first in, first out basis so everyone gets a turn.
Before making the trip, confirm you're approved to visit. Green River Correctional Complex requires all visitors to be on the inmate's approved visiting list. You'll also need to complete a visiting information form and send it to the Warden's office before any visit.
Can't make a Saturday visit? Video visits are available daily through Securus. Each session runs 25 minutes, and you need to schedule at least 48 hours ahead. Don't wait until the last minute if you're trying to book a specific day.
Green River Correctional Complex handles legal mail through the Kentucky Legal Mail Portal (LMP). Access is set up through the VendEngine visitor login for this location (jail ID 2516), where you'll submit and verify legal correspondence.
Note: VINE is a free service for checking custody status and receiving automated notifications by phone, email, text, or app. Register by calling 1-800-511-1670 or through the VINELink website.

Before you go, confirm the current in-person visitation details with the facility. Schedules and entry procedures can change. Check that visitation is still Saturdays only (8:30 am to 2:00 pm), that the 11:30 am arrival cutoff still applies, and how shortened visits work when the visiting area fills up. Also verify your visitor approval status: Are you on the approved list? Has the Warden's office received your visiting information form?
For video visits, check current availability through Securus, including scheduling rules and any limits that might affect your preferred day. Sessions are listed as daily, 25 minutes long, with a 48-hour advance booking requirement. Still, confirm before you plan around it.
Sending legal mail? Make sure you're using the correct Kentucky Legal Mail Portal entry for Green River Correctional Complex (the VendEngine visitor login tied to jail ID 2516).
