Contract Management

The Contract Management Branch is responsible for overseeing community service centers that house state probationers, inmates and parolees.  This branch is also responsible for the monitoring of the private prisons having contracts with the Department of Corrections. The current private prisons are Lee Adjustment Center, Marion Adjustment Center and Otter Creek Correctional Center.

Inmates who are classified as community custody and are near their parole eligibility dates are placed in these centers/halfway houses.

The Average Daily Population (ADP) of inmates participating in the halfway house program is approximately 915.  The ADP of parolees/probationers is approximately 306.  This integration program allows inmates to become reacquainted with their families and the community and gives them a head start in seeking employment. This includes those offenders in need of substance abuse care and are located at one of the Recovery Kentucky Centers.  In addition, many inmates are enrolled in vocational schools and/or college programs.

If you're interested in opening a halfway house, please review our standards and requirements.

The Contract Management Branch may be reached at 502-564-7023.

The Lee Adjustment Center (LAC) opened in 1990 as a 400-bed minimum security prison under contract with the Kentucky Department of Corrections.  Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the industry leader in private sector corrections, has owned and managed the Lee Adjustment Center since 1998.  In 1999, the prison was converted from a 500-bed minimum security prison to a 500-bed medium security prison.  In 2004, the prison is contracted to house up to 390 medium security inmates.

The facility’s comprehensive programs emphasize counseling, substance abuse treatment, work, educational and vocational training opportunities to prepare Kentucky inmates for re-entry into society.

Otter Creek Correctional Center is located in the town of Wheelwright, Kentucky, with a population of 1,048 (as of the 2000 census). Wheelwright is a historic coal mining camp town, characterized by coal camp town "row houses." Wheelwright's rural beauty is offset by its remoteness, the nearest large city being an hour's drive from Wheelwright. After the consolidation of two local high schools, the CCA facility is now by far the largest employer in the town.
