Little Sandy Correctional Complex Inmate Search

How to Use KOOL

Go to kool.corrections.ky.gov and search using the person’s full legal name. You can also search directly by their KY DOC number if you already have it.

The search results show:

• Current facility name and location
• KY DOC number
• Sentence information and offenses
• Projected parole eligibility or release date
• Photo (when available)

If the search returns no results, try different name spellings. If your loved one was recently sentenced or transferred, give the system one to two business days to update.

What the KY DOC Number Is Used For

The KY DOC number is the unique identifier assigned to everyone in Kentucky state custody. It follows the person through their entire sentence, even if they transfer between facilities.

You need the DOC number for:

• Sending money: Access Corrections requires the name and DOC number to route your deposit correctly.
• Mailing letters: Include the DOC number on every envelope so mail reaches the right person.
• Phone calls: Securus uses the DOC number to set up calling accounts.
• Visitor approval: The unit secretary uses the DOC number when processing your visitor form.

If the Record Shows a Different Facility

KOOL is updated regularly but may not reflect a transfer immediately. If the record shows a facility other than Little Sandy, either the transfer hasn’t been processed yet or your loved one may have been moved again. Call Little Sandy at (606) 738-6133 to confirm their current placement before mailing, sending money, or driving out.

Little Sandy Correctional Complex vs. Other Facilities

The KOOL search may surface inmates at multiple facilities with similar names. Little Sandy is in Sandy Hook, Elliott County, Kentucky, at 505 Prison Connector. It is a Kentucky DOC state prison for adult males. It is not a federal BOP facility.
