Visitation

What are the rules for visitation and getting on an inmate's visiting list?

Would I have to be on a list to visit my father?

This depends on the rules of the specific facility.

This depends on the rules of the specific facility. Some require an application and background check, others allow you to walk in with a valid ID. We would strongly advise you to call the facility itself and ask to speak with someone about the visitation rules.
