Kentucky is the first state in the nation to provide an automated, statewide victim notification system. Through this computerized system, critical information is available about inmates housed in local jails and adult correctional facilities as well as certain juvenile offenders. This information can be accessed 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Through computer generated telephone calls and emails, all registered persons will be contacted at a predetermined telephone number or email when an inmate is scheduled for release or if an inmates escapes from custody. In addition to victims, law enforcement agencies and the general public have access to housing locations and release information through the 24-hour telephone service.
