History
The Luther Luckett Correctional Complex facility is unique in that it actually houses two separate institutions. The Luther Luckett Correctional Complex is operated by the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet and the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center (KCPC) is operated by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The two facilities share a number of resources and operate under a written shared services agreement. KCPC is a licensed psychiatric hospital that conducts forensic competency evaluations, competency restoration, and criminal responsibility evaluations for pre-trial patients. The facility also provides inpatient treatment for individuals who have been adjudicated incompetent to stand trial and are held on a civil commitment order. All patients at KCPC are court-ordered under KRS 504.080, KRS 504.110, or KRS 202C. KCPC serves all 120 counties and is located in a secure facility on the grounds of the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in Lagrange, Kentucky.
