LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Inmates at the Kentucky State Penitentiary along with volunteer pastors are upset at restrictions on visitation now being enforced at the facility. Death row inmates Ralph Baze and Randy Haight told The Associated Press that 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 on Thursday for counseling and prayer. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lisa Lamb says a new warden at the facility in Eddyville is enforcing policies that haven't been used in recent years. Eddyville is isolated, 181 miles from Louisville, 280 miles from Northern Kentucky and 360 miles from Pikeville in eastern Kentucky. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
