How to Contact an Inmate at Ross Cash Center, KY (KY)

Visitation for Ross-Cash Center is held on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) and rotates monthly between two locations: the WKCC Compound for the male population and Ross-Cash Center for the female population. That monthly rotation is the first thing to nail down before you make travel plans. Showing up at the wrong site can mean missing the visit entirely.

Visiting hours depend on where the inmate is housed. For inmates in Meritorious Housing, or for Ross-Cash visitation, the window runs from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For inmates in non-meritorious housing, visitation runs from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Here's the catch: Ross-Cash Center stops processing visitors after 9:00 a.m., regardless of when the visiting window ends. If you arrive after that cutoff, expect to be turned away for the day.

You can't enter the institution more than 30 minutes before the 7:00 a.m. start time, so plan your arrival accordingly. Each inmate is allowed two adult visitors at a time. Minors can visit too, with no limit on the number as long as they're on the inmate's approved visitor list. No appointment is needed. That makes planning simpler, but it also means lines and processing time matter, especially with the 9:00 a.m. processing cutoff.

1. Confirm where visitation is being hosted this month. Visitation rotates monthly between the WKCC Compound (male population) and Ross-Cash Center (female population).
2. Confirm which weekend day is used. Visitation is held on Saturday or Sunday, so verify which day applies before you travel.

1. Figure out which hours apply to your loved one. Meritorious Housing (and Ross-Cash visitation) runs 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; non-meritorious housing runs 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
2. Time your arrival for processing, not just the visiting window. No visitor is processed after 9:00 a.m., even if visiting continues later.
3. Do not arrive too early at the gate. You can enter no earlier than 30 minutes before the 7:00 a.m. start time.

• ✓ Plan for a maximum of two adult visitors at a time per inmate
• ✓ Bring minors only if they are on the inmate’s approved visitor list (no limit on the number of minors if they are approved)
• ✓ Skip appointment scheduling, no appointment is required for visitation

1. Create a Securus account. Use the Sign Up process to start.
2. Submit required attorney documents. Attorneys are required in the Securus system to send a self image, a picture of a driver’s license, and a picture of a bar license.
3. Schedule your session once approved. Log in and select “Schedule Session.”
4. Budget for the cost and time. Sessions cost $5 for up to 25 minutes.

Before you go, verify the current month's rotation. Visitation switches between the WKCC Compound and Ross-Cash Center, and you'll also want to confirm which weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) is being used. Then double-check which visiting hours apply to the inmate you're seeing. Meritorious Housing (and Ross-Cash visitation) follows a different end time than non-meritorious housing.

Confirm the processing cutoff. Ross-Cash Center stops processing visitors after 9:00 a.m., and that cutoff can matter more than the posted end time. Also confirm entry timing. Visitors are allowed in no earlier than 30 minutes before the 7:00 a.m. start time.

• ✓ Whether the two-adult-visitors-at-a-time limit is being applied for your visit
• ✓ Whether each minor you plan to bring is on the inmate’s approved visitor list
• ✓ Whether the facility still operates with no appointment required for visitation

If you're planning an attorney video visit, confirm the current Securus pricing and session length before scheduling. The posted rate is $5 for up to a 25-minute session, but fees and procedures can change.
