Luther Luckett Correctional Complex is a state prison located in Oldham County, Kentucky. Rated capacity: 1,178. Reported population: 1,180. Security level: Medium. Data sourced from the HIFLD Prison Boundaries open dataset.
Background
The Luther Luckett Correctional Complex is a Medium/Maximum-security state prison located in unincorporated Oldham County, Kentucky, near La Grange, about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Louisville. It opened in 1981 and had a prison population 1,204 as of 2018. The Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center, which is operated by the Kentucky Health and Family Services Cabinet and is officially a separate facility, is located within the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex and shares several facilities with its host prison. Due to extreme staffing shortages over the 2015â16 fiscal year, the facility now operates on two 12-hour shifts, five days a week. This has been embraced by some as substantial extra income, and heavily criticized by others due to being away from their families so often, as well as being a major source of mental and physical stress.
