How to Send Money to Green River Corr. Complex (KY)

Green River Correctional Complex has vending machines available during visits. Inmates cannot use the machines or handle money. If you want to buy snacks or drinks to share, you'll need to do the purchasing yourself.

The vending process has specific steps. After you buy items, open them in front of staff, remove all wrapping completely, and place everything on a paper plate. Then return to the table so you and the inmate can share.

Separate from visits, the facility uses a Legal Mail Portal tied to jail_id=2516. To create an account, go to the portal page for that jail_id and click "Create Account." The portal has specific password requirements. Attorneys will also need to upload proof of licensure in good standing (an image or PDF) from their Bar Association.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Select and purchase your items from the vending machine
• ✓ Open the items in front of staff
• ✓ Completely remove all wrapping
• ✓ Place the items on a paper plate
• ✓ Return to the table so the inmate and visitors can share the vended items

Plan to handle vending yourself. At Green River Correctional Complex, inmates cannot use the vending machines or handle money, even for purchases meant for them.

1. Open the Legal Mail Portal login page for this facility (jail_id=2516) and click Create Account.
2. Create a password that meets the portal rules: at least 8 characters, at least 1 lowercase letter, and at least 1 number.
3. Upload attorney documentation if that applies to you. Attorneys must upload proof of licensure in good standing from their Bar Association (image or PDF).

Before you visit, confirm the current vending process with the facility. The rules here cover the basics: visitor purchases, opening items in front of staff, removing all wrapping, placing items on a paper plate, and returning to share. But they don't spell out which items are allowed, whether staff require extra steps on a given day, or other details that can change.

For the Legal Mail Portal, verify you're using the correct jail_id=2516 portal page. Double-check password requirements when you create your account (at least 8 characters, including a lowercase letter and a number). Attorneys should confirm what proof of licensure is accepted and whether an image or PDF works best.
