LMDC meaning in General ?

The Louisville Metro Department of Corrections (LMDC), known locally as Metro Corrections, is a local corrections agency/jail system responsible for the booking and incarceration of inmates and arrestees in Louisville, Kentucky. The agency was previously known as the Jefferson County Corrections Department, but the name was changed with the merger of city and county governments in 2003.

LMDC operates three facilities: The Main Jail Complex (MJC) at 6th and Liberty Streets, the adjacent Hall of Justice (HOJ) on 6th and Jefferson, and the Community Corrections Center (CCC) on Chestnut Street. The department also maintains a holding area, which is a 126-bed jail facility on the third floor of the Louisville Metro Police Department headquarters, which has only been used sporadically, in instances of extreme overcrowding of the primary facilities.

LMDC employs 447 sworn staff and 113 civilian staff members, as well as a host of contract medical and food services personnel. As of October 2014, the current director is Mark Bolton, who was appointed in 2008.
