Distances[edit]

The distances given on the page have Frankfort being closer than Lexington, which isn't possible. If measuring by travel distance, the quickest route from Frankfort would take you by Lexington. If measuring by a straight (or curved line, as it were), there's no doubt Lexington is closer. I'm not sure what the author intended as far as measurement technique goes, so I don't want to change it. But it's inaccurate to have Frankfort closer than Lexington. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordJair (talk • contribs) 15:59, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on United States Penitentiary, Big Sandy. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
