Locate Lee Adjustment Center Inmates

Lee Adjustment Center Overview

Lee Adjustment Center is a Kentucky DOC adult institution in Beattyville operated by CoreCivic under contract with the Kentucky Department of Corrections. The DOC facility page identifies it as a medium-security institution for adult males. CoreCivic and DOC materials make clear that this facility is part of the state prison system, so its population should not be confused with Lee County's regional jail roster. A person booked after a local arrest may begin at Three Forks Regional Jail, but a sentenced adult male prisoner may later appear in Kentucky DOC systems and may be housed at Lee Adjustment Center.

The prison's DOC page names Danny Dodd as warden and Mitchell Brandenburg as ADA Coordinator. The facility sits on 88.28 acres, with about eleven acres inside the secure compound. DOC describes a 12-foot double perimeter fence and an electronic stun fence around the compound. Housing includes South Dorm, North Dorm, West Dorm, and a Restrictive Housing Unit. North Dorm also contains a Substance Abuse Program area.

The Kentucky DOC Lee Adjustment Center overview is the source for the facility type, address, security, capacity, housing, warden, and ADA coordinator.

The DOC overview screenshot supports the state-prison framing and keeps the Lee Adjustment Center lookup separate from county jail roster searching.

Lee Adjustment Center Population

Kentucky DOC daily count data dated 06/11/2026 listed Lee Adjustment Center with 839 in-count inmates, 8 inmates out to court, and 847 total inmates. The same daily count sheet listed 866 operational capacity for the facility. Those figures make the DOC count the best source for a population snapshot, while the DOC facility page supplies the bed and housing-unit structure. The daily count is a point-in-time prison number and should not be used as a live custody confirmation for a named person.

Lee Adjustment Inmate Lookup

The correct public lookup for Lee Adjustment Center inmates is Kentucky Online Offender Lookup, usually called KOOL. KOOL is the Kentucky DOC offender locator for sentenced state custody. It is separate from the Three Forks JailTracker roster. JailTracker is the right route for current local jail custody, while KOOL is the right route for Kentucky DOC prisoners. VINELink can also help with custody notifications and cross-checking.

1. Open KOOL and search by the person's last name, or use the DOC/PID number if a court paper, prison letter, or staff contact provides it.
2. Review search results for the name, DOC or PID number, gender, offender type, and current location.
3. Confirm that the current location shows Lee Adjustment Center before using the prison's visit or mail rules.
4. Use VINELink Kentucky person search for custody-notification support when available.
5. If KOOL does not show the person and the custody event is recent, check Three Forks Regional Jail for current jail booking status.

Lee Adjustment Address

Lee Adjustment Center contact questions should be routed to the prison, not the county jail, when the person is a sentenced Kentucky DOC inmate assigned to LAC. Call before traveling for visit dates, dorm rotation questions, approval status, ADA access, or changes to entry rules. A court-date absence or temporary court movement may show in DOC count data as a court count, but named-person movement should be verified through DOC or facility contacts.

Lee Adjustment Visitation

Lee Adjustment Center visitation follows a state-prison approval model. General population in-person visits are listed from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on designated Saturdays and Sundays, with a monthly dorm rotation. Visitors must be on the approved list before the visit. The prison advises callers to use 606-464-2866 for current dates. A person should not use the jail visitation schedule for LAC, because Three Forks and Lee Adjustment Center are separate facilities with different custody systems and visitor rules.

The Lee Adjustment Center visiting information page provides the dorm rotation, approval requirement, dress limits, and vending-money limits.

The visiting page screenshot reflects the state-prison model, where approval and dorm rotation control the visit more than a general open jail schedule.

Lee Adjustment Mail and Money

The located research did not identify a Lee Adjustment Center commissary vendor, phone-rate table, or complete money-deposit fee schedule. Because LAC is a Kentucky DOC contract prison, mail, phone, package, trust-account, and deposit rules should be checked through DOC or the facility before sending anything. Use the prison's current mailing instructions and the inmate's DOC number. Do not copy Three Forks deposit rules to LAC. CorrectPay and InmateSales were documented for the regional jail, not for Lee Adjustment Center.

Dress-code rules bar revealing, see-through, excessively tight, obscene, gang-related, and offensive clothing. Shorts, dresses, and skirts cannot be more than 2 inches above the knee. Sleeveless, tank, halter, and tube tops are prohibited. Leggings or yoga pants cannot be worn as the outer garment unless covered by compliant clothing. Most head coverings are barred except religious coverings, which may be searched.

Lee Adjustment Intake

Lee Adjustment Center does not perform the same kind of street-arrest booking that a regional jail performs. A person housed at LAC is generally in sentenced Kentucky DOC custody. Intake and movement are part of DOC classification, housing assignment, transfer, court transport, and prison management. That distinction affects records. Jail profiles may show booking photos, local charges, bond fields, and first-appearance information. DOC records focus on prison location, offender identity, sentence-related information, custody status, and current facility.

The prison's housing layout also affects visit and status questions. South Dorm has 224 beds, North Dorm has 336 beds, West Dorm has 256 beds, and RHU has 50 beds. South and North are open-wing dormitory style areas. West Dorm has 128 two-person cells in five pods. The RHU includes 48 single cells and 2 observation cells. A housing unit should not be treated as a court status or release status. It is a prison placement detail.

About Lee Adjustment Center

Lee Adjustment Center has an important local role because Lee County contains both the regional jail and a large state-prison facility in Beattyville. DOC materials describe a November 2017 agreement with CoreCivic that allowed housing approximately 800 inmates at LAC in response to aging facilities and a growing inmate population. CoreCivic materials state that the company has owned the facility since 1998 and serves Kentucky DOC under contract.

The program and condition material located for LAC includes a Substance Abuse Program in the lower level of North Dorm. CoreCivic also lists community activities with the American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, Lee County Schools, Lee County Head Start, Beattyville and Lee County Chamber of Commerce, Lee County Medical Scholarship Fund, Owsley County Basketball Association, and local city and county projects. PREA reporting routes are also listed in CoreCivic materials, including a Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet PREA hotline.

For custody routing, the key point is simple: LAC is searched through Kentucky DOC tools. A newly arrested person in Lee County should be checked through Three Forks Regional Jail first, while a sentenced adult male prisoner assigned to LAC should be checked through KOOL. The Three Forks Regional Jail route is the separate regional jail roster and visitation process.
