How to Visit Little Sandy Correctional Complex (KY)
Visiting at Little Sandy Correctional Complex (LSCC) runs on a strict schedule. Know the person's housing unit and schedule your visit ahead of time, and the process goes much smoother.
In-person visits at LSCC last two hours. Each inmate can have four visits per month, and every visit must be scheduled and approved in advance. If you're traveling or coordinating with other family members, plan early.
The visiting schedule depends on where the inmate is housed. General population visits run Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Minimum Security Unit (MSU) visits are Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Special Management Unit (SMU) visiting is more limited. Administrative SMU visits happen Sunday only, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Disciplinary SMU visits are Saturday only, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Before you book travel, confirm the person's current housing unit so you show up on the right day and time.
Plan ahead: LSCC requires visitors to schedule in-person visits in advance by contacting the prison, and the visit must be approved before you go.
For video visitation, you'll need a valid government photo ID to set up your account (driver's license, military ID, or passport all work). Video visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance through the video visitation provider, so same-day and next-day visits usually aren't available.
