Visitation

Visiting at Little Sandy Correctional Complex (LSCC) is organized by housing unit, so check the unit-specific schedule first. In-person visits happen on weekends and approved holidays from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, though exact windows vary by unit. Each visit lasts two hours, and inmates can have four visits per month—all must be scheduled and approved ahead of time. To arrange a visit, contact the unit secretary for the inmate's housing unit (GA/GB/GC/GD/MSU/SMU) or email the LSCC visitation address. Bring proper ID: adults need a photo ID, children need two forms of identification. LSCC limits adult visitors (two for non-contact, three for contact), allows only brief physical contact, and generally prohibits items in the visiting room without Warden approval.

Mail & Letters

For legal mail at Little Sandy Correctional Complex, attorneys and authorized users must register through Little Sandy's specific Legal Mail Portal (LMP) URL—not a generic portal link. During signup, set a password with at least eight characters, including a lowercase letter and a number, then complete phone verification by text or automated call. Once approved, you'll receive a Mail ID Number that begins with a letter. Use this on all legal-mail submissions. The portal flags security risks, including soaked or chemically treated paper used to smuggle drugs. Attorneys shouldn't mail documents they didn't generate unless they're official trusted-source records. Seal envelopes yourself (or through trusted staff) and don't route them through third parties. Alternatives include in-person visits, confidential Zoom visits, and phone calls. Always use the inmate's full name and ID, and include a complete return address.

Sending Money

Available sources don't include a facility-specific money-deposit workflow for Little Sandy Correctional Complex, so here are the common options used at many Kentucky correctional sites. Typical deposit methods include third-party vendor portals (online), lobby kiosks, phone deposits, and mailed money orders—though availability varies by location. Usually, you'll use the vendor portal to select the state and facility, search for the incarcerated person, choose commissary or phone deposit, and follow the payment prompts. Care packages and commissary orders typically go through approved vendors and must meet both vendor and facility screening rules. For urgent behavioral-health or crisis support connected to someone incarcerated, statewide options include KY HELP (1-877-318-1871), KY-OAR after-hours (1-800-854-6813), and 988.
