Kentucky Department of Corrections
The Kentucky Department of Corrections is a state agency of Kentucky that operates prisons. The agency is headquartered in the Health Services Building in Frankfort.[1]
As of June 2013, Kentucky ended its relationship with all private prison contractors, although the Lee Adjustment Center operated by Corrections Corporation of America still houses out-of-state prisoners.[2]
