This medium-to-high security prison is operated by the Kentucky Department of Corrections in conjunction with local law enforcement from surrounding counties like Johnson County Sheriff to hold inmates who have been convicted to and sentenced for a crime in this region of Kentucky.

The inmates housed at the Kentucky are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the length of their sentence and the past criminal history). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. Kentucky's mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
