Who to Contact When You Have Questions About KSP Visits

To schedule a visit at Kentucky State Penitentiary (KSP), use the facility’s visit scheduling email: KSP.Visits@ky.gov.

Here's something that catches people off guard: at KSP, the visit request must come from the inmate visitor (the person incarcerated) - not from you. If you email the scheduling address yourself, it won't count as a valid request.

  • Schedule the visit at least seven (7) days in advance.
  • For an in-person visit request, include the visitor’s name, date of birth, and Social Security number.
  • Include the date you want to visit and whether you’re requesting an in-person or virtual visit.
