Luther Luckett Correctional Complex Visiting Hours, Dress Code & Approval

Visiting Schedule

Luther Luckett holds in-person visits Wednesday and Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Which day a specific inmate can have visitors is determined by their housing unit assignment, according to the KDOC 2026 Visitation Calendar posted on the corrections.ky.gov website.

If you are not sure which day applies to your loved one, call (502) 222-0363 and ask staff.

Honor-status inmates receive expanded visiting: they may receive visits on both Wednesday and Friday, plus one Saturday visit per month. Inmates in 7-David housing visit on the second Saturday of each month; inmates in 7-Edward housing visit on the third Saturday of each month.

Special Management Unit (SMU) and restricted inmates have non-contact visits only. These must be scheduled one week in advance by the inmate, not by the visitor.

Arriving at the Facility

Entry to visiting is allowed no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and no later than 2:30 p.m. even though the visiting period runs until 3:30 p.m. Arriving at least 30 minutes before you plan to enter is recommended.

If you live more than 150 miles from LaGrange, you may request an extended visit. Contact the facility to arrange this before your visit.

How to Get on the Approved Visitor List

You must be approved before your first visit. Here is how to start the process:

1. Contact the facility at (502) 222-0363 and ask how to submit a visitor information form.
2. Complete the visitor form following Kentucky DOC policy CPP 16-1.
3. Return the completed form to the facility as directed.
4. Allow time for review and background check.
5. You will be notified once approved.

Do not drive to Luther Luckett without confirming you are on the approved list. If you are not on the list, staff will turn you away at the door.
