It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
While incarcerated, reading is often the best use of time. Please note that books and magazines, puzzles, and word searches ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. Prisons and jails enforce this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
KMCC is a close custody facility operating at level 4 high security, accommodating up to 900 adult male inmates. The center comprises three housing units along with a support building housing various essential facilities such as a gym, educational and vocational classrooms, medical services, security offices, a dining hall, a commissary, and a chapel.
The inmate population at KMCC is categorized into six distinct groups, including general population incentive pods, general population re-entry, special housing for segregation inmates, STAR, and Cadres, the latter consisting of minimum security inmates working in the commissary. Security measures include multiple razor wire fences, electronic detection systems, canines, and four guard towers.
Notably, Keen Mountain allows staff to possess non-lethal weapons within the security perimeter, with built-in gun ports in the housing unit control room. Due to the prevalence of violence among inmates, programming primarily occurs via video, mail, or small groups. However, inmates still have access to essential services such as anger management counseling, adult basic education classes, mental health services, parenting classes, and alcohol and substance abuse programs.
Vocational training opportunities are also provided in fields like electrical wiring, custodial maintenance, and masonry, aiming to equip offenders with practical skills for reintegration into society.
The assignment criteria for security levels range from 2 to 4, with considerations given to the length of the sentence and the absence of disruptive behavior for a specified period preceding any transfer to less secure facilities.
