How Do I Know if I Am on an Inmate's Visitor List?

The facility notifies the inmate when a visitation application is approved, not the visitor. That means your family member will know you have been approved before you do, and it is their responsibility to pass that information along to you.

If you have not heard anything after submitting an application, there are two ways to find out your status. The fastest is to ask your family member directly during a call or through a letter. They can check with their housing officer or case manager and confirm whether your name has been approved.
