​​The Roederer Correctional Complex is situated approximately 3 miles south of LaGrange, Kentucky and approximately 20 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky. Roederer Correctional Complex opened on August 28, 1976, originally as a 150 bed minimum-security "work camp" institution to operate a 3.000 acre prison farm.

On December 1, 1987, RCC was converted to a medium/minimum security institution with 100 medium and 152 minimum custody inmates. The institution underwent another major transition on May 1, 1989, when it was transformed to the Assessment and Classification Center for the Kentucky Department of Corrections for all incoming state prisoners, excluding inmates that received the death penalty.

Physical Layout

The physical plant consists of a total of 1238 beds. 930 medium security beds are within the fenced perimeter. 200 of these medium custody inmates are permanently assigned inmates, which provide support services for the institution. These inmates proved the basic services to the institution such as Food Service, Laundry, Legal Aide Office, Grievance Office, Janitorial, etc. The remaining 730 medium security beds are utilized to house inmates entering the system as part of the Assessment Center for the Department of Corrections. There are currently 3​08 minimum custody beds located outside the fence. 200 minimum custody inmates are participating in the Substance Abuse Program. The remaining 108 minimum custody inmates also provide support services for the institution such as Maintenance, Warehouse, Horticulture Program, and the Farm Operation.
