Metro Corrections Vehicles
On behalf of the professional men and women who work at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, we welcome you to our web site.

We are committed to enhancing public safety by controlling and managing offenders in a safe, humane and cost-efficient manner consistent with sound correctional principles and constitutional standards.

This year, more than 46,000 men and women will move through our facilities. They will interact with a well-trained staff committed to excellence. Inmates housed in Metro Corrections facilities have many program opportunities which include Work Release, Home Incarceration, Substance Abuse Counseling, Domestic Violence Counseling, Mental Health Counseling, GED Classes, Religious Programs and more. Our goal is to assess an offender’s needs and provide services that assist that offender in the transition and reintegration back into the community.

Thank you for your interest in our organization.  If you are unable to find the information you need here on our website, feel free to call us.
