How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Lee Adjustment Center offers in-person visitation from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM on designated Saturdays and Sundays. The facility uses a rotational, dorm-based schedule, so check which weekends apply to your inmate. Before visiting, you must be on the inmate's approved visitor list—this typically means submitting a visitor form and waiting for background checks. Dress modestly per Kentucky DOC rules: covered clothing and proper footwear. Staff have final say on what's acceptable and can turn you away if an issue can't be fixed. Leave coats, jackets, and diaper bags in the lobby lockers (limited diaper bag contents allowed inside). Brief physical contact is permitted only at the start and end of visits. Vending money is capped at $40 for one adult or $60 when more than one adult visits.

Need to communicate quickly and confidentially with someone at Lee Adjustment Center? You have options beyond mailed legal documents. Kentucky's Legal Mail Portal notice highlights a real concern: people have smuggled drugs into facilities by soaking paper in chemicals and sending it through the mail. This creates extra scrutiny around incoming paper. Depending on how urgent your situation is and how much you need to review together, phone calls, video visits, or an in-person meeting might work better.
