Kentucky State Reformatory

The Kentucky State Reformatory is located in LaGrange, Kentucky which is approximately 30 miles North-East of Louisville. It is a medium security facility under the administration of the Kentucky Justice Cabinet, Department of Corrections with a 759-bed capacity.

The Kentucky State Reformatory was the third prison built in the Commonwealth of Kentucky following the establishment of a penal system by Kentucky's Legislature in 1798.

The Reformatory, whose history is closely linked with Kentucky's political history and correctional philosophy, has undergone many changes during its existence.

The concept of the Kentucky State Reformatory was made possible through the appropriation of funds by the 1936 General Assembly and matching federal funds from the Public Works Administration. A committee chosen by Governor A.B. "Happy" Chandler toured the country seeking ideas to bring back to Kentucky so that the new institution being planned would be the correctional showplace of America. The committee returned with a blueprint that was innovative as far as prison construction of the time was concerned.

Architecturally, it appeared similar to schools and hospitals of that era. Instead of having individual cells for inmates, the plans called for open-wing dormitories. There was liberal space for each man and the design committee believed this would encourage the men to return to the community and lead crime-free lives. The prison hospital was said to be the best-equipped facility with a 15-state area. Overall, the Chandler Administration believed that the construction of the new buildings couples with the adjacent area of farmland were Kentucky's answer to rehabilitation.

Up to the present day the physical plant has essentially retained its original configuration.

The 12-story administration building was designed to house the offices of key staff members, a hospital, and medical offices, together with living quarters for correctional staff. The eleventh floor houses the machinery of the elevator; the twelfth floor houses a now-defunct 150,000-gallon water tank.

There are two (2) dormitories in general population with 396 beds. KSR maintain 148 beds in the correctional psychiatric treatment unit (CPTU). Which is divided into a 75 bed program wings, 50 bed stabilization wing, and 23 bed restrictive housing unit. The Reformatory also maintains a 165 bed medical unit and a 50 bed open wing Daily Assisted Living Unit (DAL).

KSR's primary mission is to be a specialized institution to provide extensive mental health and medical services to inmates within the system. The Medical Department provides on-site chemotherapy and dialysis treatments. Additionally, they coordinate Health Care Services which includes the direct provision of routine and emergency medical and dental care and the provision of medical care of outside hospitals and private practitioners.

Other buildings making up the Kentucky State Reformatory include an

Academic/Vocational School, Gymnasium, Chapel, Dining Facility, Inmate Canteen, Correctional Industries, Visitation Building and Medical Services Buildings.

In the early 1980's, inmates at the Kentucky State Penitentiary and the Kentucky State Reformatory brought a Federal lawsuit against the 2 prisons over living conditions. They alleged that the living conditions at both institutions violated their civil rights. Judging that it would not be prudent to litigate, the Department of Corrections entered into a Consent Decree. The Reformatory has obtained a ruling of substantial compliance with the Federal Court Consent Decree under which it has operated since 1980. The institution underwent many changes and improvements during the past years to meet the requirements of the Consent Decree and presented evidence of substantial compliance at a trial held in July, 1986 receiving the final ruling from Chief Judge Edward Johnstone on March 13, 1987. This ruling of substantial compliance has been the most expedient in the history of U.S.

Corrections thus far.

To provide an efficient and effective service delivery system, the Kentucky State Reformatory is divided into individual departments specializing in an area of service or institutional support. Each department is directed by a department head who answers to a Deputy Warden responsible for the administration and management of that general service area. The Deputy Warden's also coordinate the service provided by the Department of Corrections Division of Mental Health, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, Correctional Industries, the Oldham County Public Library, the Division of Probation and Parole, Public Advocacy, and the Inmate Canteen.

All totaled, the Kentucky State Reformatory has 335 funded positions. Staff employed by other agencies at the Kentucky State Reformatory totals 54 employees.

Northpoint Training Center

The institution was originally constructed as a state mental hospital. Beginning in 1941, the United States Army assumed control of the facilities to provide care for soldiers suffering from psychiatric illness.

While operated by the Army from 1941 to 1946, the Darnel Hospital had the capability to house approximately 880 ill soldiers and was also utilized to contain German prisoners of war. In 1946, the hospital was returned to state control for the sum of $1. Interestingly, employees desiring to be a part of the transaction contributed 100 pennies for the purchasing price. The facilities were operated as the Kentucky State Hospital from 1946 until 1977 when phased to the control of the Bureau of Social Services. For 5 years, from July 1977 through February 1983, the Danville Youth Development Center was utilized as a youth center for juvenile offenders.

The Department of Corrections received control of the property, consisting of 551 acres and approximately 50 structures, in January 1983. Northpoint Training Center was initially conceived as a minimum-security institution for fewer than 500 inmates, but the mission rapidly changed to a medium-security institution with a proposed population of approximately 700 inmates. Today, the institution operates as a medium-security institution with a current bed capacity of 1,256 inmates. The institution currently consists of 1,108 general population medium-security beds, 60 special management beds, and 54 minimum-security beds.

General population inmates are housed in six open-bay dormitories. Special management Unit inmates are housed in single cells in a 60-bed structure separated from the main compound. The perimeter of the secure compound is a double 12-foot fence with razor wire on the bottom and top. The inner perimeter fence has a sensor system that alerts the main control in the event of contact, 4 armed wall towers, an outside patrol, and a control center. Minimum-Security inmates, numbering approximately 54, are housed in 2 structures outside the secure perimeter.

Western Kentucky Correctional Complex

Located in Lyon County near Fredonia, Western Kentucky Corrections Complex (WKCC) comprises of a medium custody facility and the Ross-Cash Center, a minimum custody unit. Originally constructed in 1968 as a satellite facility and work camp of Kentucky State Penitentiary (KSP), the property transitioned to Western Kentucky Farm Center in 1977 and became a separate correctional minimum security facility. In 1989, the institution was renamed Western Kentucky Correctional Complex (WKCC) and was converted into medium security facility with a minimum security unit remaining. The facility underwent a transition in 2010 when its population was changed from adult males to adult females. In 2015, responding to an ever changing corrections population, the facility was split into two separate prisons. WKCC became a secure-custody adult male facility and The Ross-Cash Center (Ross-Cash) was created as a minimum security adult female facility.

In 2016, Ross-Cash joined WKCC becoming one facility again, retaining separate adult male and female populations, and making WKCC the only state-level co-ed facility in Kentucky. Since 1988, WKCC has been accredited with the American Correctional Association (ACA), which is recognized throughout the nation as the accrediting body of correctional agencies.

Today, Western Kentucky Correctional Complex houses a population of six hundred ninety-three (693); four hundred ninety-three (493) beds are located within a fenced perimeter and houses an adult male population. The other two hundred (200) beds are located outside the fenced perimeter at The Ross-Cash Center and houses an adult female population.
