Green River Inmate Search. Find Someone with KOOL

How to Search for Someone at Green River

Go to kool.corrections.ky.gov. Type in the person’s first and last name. If you already know their KY DOC number, you can search with that instead, which is more exact.

KOOL shows people in the custody of the Kentucky Department of Corrections. Green River is a state prison, so anyone serving their sentence here will show up in the system.

What the Search Tells You

A KOOL result shows the person’s full name, their KY DOC number, and the facility where they are held. It can also show custody status and other public details.

The most important piece is the DOC number. Save it somewhere safe. Almost every other step, from sending money to getting on the visitor list, asks for that number.

If You Cannot Find the Person

A few things can keep a name from showing up right away:

• They were just sentenced and the record has not updated yet. Wait one to two days and try again.
• They were recently moved between facilities.
• The name is spelled differently than you typed it. Try a partial name or a different spelling.

If you still cannot find them, call Green River at (270) 754-5415 for help.

After You Find Them

Once you have the DOC number, you can move on to the next steps. Use the send money guide to fund their account, the visitation guide to get on the approved list, and the phone calls guide to set up calls.

You can also use Pigeonly to search for an incarcerated loved one and stay connected with letters, photos, and more.
