How do you get approved for visits?

Visitation is different in every prison system.

Visitation is different in every prison system. Whether it is federal, state or state, they all have a set of rules that have to be followed - where your inmate may have to place you on a list. Some require a form to be filled out and background check performed (Arizona requires you to pay a fee for that check). Others allow you to come straight in with just a government ID. What prison are you thinking about visiting, we will see if we can get you the specifics so that you are not misinformed.
