Dept of Corrections orders Bell Co. Detention Center closed By Lisa Lamb Frankfort, KY - The Bell County Detention Center has been closed by order of the Kentucky Department of Corrections. Jail officials were notified today that the facility must be completely evacuated by 5pm on February 5, 2020. The closure stems from the continued failure of the jail to remedy its inoperable smoke evacuation system, a critical life safety component of detention facilities. Without a properly functioning smoke evacuation system, inmate living areas are unprotected in the event of a fire. The Department of Corrections issued an order of closure on Oct. 2, 2019 directing the jail to be closed by Dec. 1, 2019. When jail officials made minimal progress correcting the violations, an extension was given to Jan. 30. However, the smoke evacuation system is still inoperable which prompted today's action. "The Department of Corrections gave Bell County officials ample opportunity to correct this situation and repair or replace the smoke evacuation system," said Corrections Commissioner Kathleen Kenney. "Our safety concerns were not addressed, which led us to close the jail." The Department of Corrections has the authority to close a jail under KRS 441.045 if there is a violation of health and life safety regulations that involve the protection of persons or property.
