How to Visit Green River Corr. Complex (KY)

Green River Correctional Complex holds in-person visitation on Saturdays only, from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm. Here's the catch: you must arrive before 11:30 am to get in, even though visitation continues into the afternoon.

Note: A regular in-person visit can last the full visitation hours. If the visiting area fills up and people are waiting, the Shift Supervisor may shorten visits on a first-in, first-out basis so more visitors get a turn.

Can't make it in person? Video visits are available daily through Securus. Each session lasts 25 minutes and must be scheduled at least 48 hours ahead. For any type of visit, you need to be on the approved visiting list. Complete a visiting information form and send it to the Warden's office before your first visit.
