Visitation Information

VISITATION INFORMATION

In-person visits and non-essential travel resumed Friday, December 10th, 2021 for residents in "clean" (COVID-recovered units or areas with no positive test results) housing areas. Visitors may now schedule in-person visits through ViaPath visitation scheduling. If you are unsure if your loved one is in a "clean" unit, you may call the prison and speak to a staff member in the Records Department. Due to high call volume, there may be a wait time. In most cases, your loved one can tell you via the messaging app or by phone if they are eligible for a visit.

  • Visitors must be pre-approved and on an active visiting list provided by the inmate.
  • Visitors must log onto the visitation scheduling app to schedule a visit. See Visitation Hours.
  • Visits may be scheduled 7 days in advance, but no later than 24 hours before the proposed visit.
  • Only 1 housing unit is permitted to utilize the visitation area at any given time. Each housing unit has a corresponding visitation schedule, and the available scheduling blocks will be posted.
