How to Visit Ross Cash Center, KY (KY)

Visitation at Ross-Cash Center is held on Saturday or Sunday. Here's the catch: the schedule rotates each month between the WKCC Compound (male population) and Ross-Cash Center (female population). So the first thing you need to pin down is whether Ross-Cash is actually hosting visits this month.

Visiting hours depend on the inmate's housing status. Meritorious-housing inmates (or Ross-Cash visitation) have hours from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Non-meritorious-housing visitation runs from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. If you're not sure which category applies, plan around the earlier end time so you don't miss the visit.

You can enter the institution no earlier than 30 minutes before the 7:00 a.m. start time, so not before 6:30 a.m. Even though the visit window starts at 7:00 a.m., visitor processing has a hard cutoff: no visitor will be processed after 9:00 a.m. You don't need an appointment. That said, the 9:00 a.m. processing cutoff functions like a deadline, so arriving early matters.

Each inmate is allowed two adult visitors at a time. There's no restriction on the number of minors, as long as they're on the inmate's approved visitor list.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Plan your visit for Saturday or Sunday.
• ✓ Confirm whether this month’s rotation has visitation at Ross-Cash Center (female population) or at the WKCC Compound (male population).
• ✓ Know which hours apply: 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for meritorious housing (or Ross-Cash visitation), and 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for non-meritorious housing.

• ✓ Do not show up too late. No visitor will be processed after 9:00 a.m.
• ✓ Skip the appointment step. No appointment is required.
• ✓ Plan your group size. Each inmate is allowed two adult visitors at a time, and minors are not limited if they are on the approved visitor list.
