Eddyville, KY – Inmates at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville, along with volunteer pastors, are upset at restrictions on visitation now being enforced at the facility. Death row inmates Ralph Baze and Randy Haight say the rules limit who a pastor may visit with and cuts off the only regular visitors most inmates receive. Volunteer pastor Gerald Otahal of Owensboro says the rules prevented him from meeting with an inmate last week for counseling and prayer. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lisa Lamb says the penitentiary's new warden, Philip Parker, is enforcing policies that haven't been used in recent years.
