Visitation Hours

Visiting hours for CAFCC are subject to change, so it's crucial to confirm them by contacting the facility directly by phone. Please reach out to 520-868-3668, on visitation procedures, applications, or directions to the facility in Florence. Please note that visitors will undergo a thorough search before entering the premises, and personal belongings, including cell phones, are strictly prohibited. Individuals under probation, parole, or community corrections supervision must obtain approval from both their supervising officer and the superintendent before visiting, although such visits are not typically approved.

General Visitation Information

General population
For USMS inmates, a maximum of three (3) visitors are allowed to visit at one time

  • Visitation 1, 2, 3/Entrance 1 & 2. A maximum of five (5) visitors are allowed to visit at one time
  • Visitation 4/Entrance 3. The number of visitors allowed is based on the availability of space.
  • For ICE detainees, a maximum of two (2) adults and two (2) children are allowed to visit at one time.
  • Children under eighteen (18) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Minors must remain under the direct supervision of an adult visitor.
  • No person under indictment, on parole or probation will be allowed to visit.

Former employees or contract employees are subject to visitation restrictions at CoreCivic facilities, including a prohibition on visiting an inmate or resident for a period of one year from the date of separation of employment. The warden or designee retains the authority to extend this denial at any time. Visitation for ICE detainees follows the guidelines outlined in ICE PBNDS (Performance-Based National Detention Standards). Additionally, former inmates are not permitted to visit.

All visitors must register upon entering the facility. Visitors under the age of eighteen (18) must be accompanied by an adult, and if not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, they must present a notarized letter from the parent or legal guardian along with a birth certificate for entry.

Upon entering the facility for visitation, visitors are only permitted to bring an ID and a small amount of cash ($10 or less) or a vending card for use at vending machines during visitation. Proper identification must be a valid driver’s license or government-issued ID. Personal items such as cell phones, wallets, purses, food, gifts, magazines, or books are not allowed and should be left in the vehicle. Lockers may be available in the facility lobby for storing these items.

Visitation types may vary depending on the facility and inmate classification, including contact visitation, non-contact visitation, and occasionally video visitation. The appropriate contact with an inmate, such as hugging, varies based on the facility’s regulations.

To initiate the visitation approval process, inmates will mail a visitation application form to friends and family members who wish to visit. Upon completion, the form must be returned to the specific CoreCivic facility for background check approval. Once approved, inmates are responsible for informing visitors of their approval status. Inmates can update their visitation list over time, and visitors should confirm approval before planning a visit.

All visitors must pass through security measures before proceeding to the visitation area, which includes screening through a metal detector. Visitors should adhere to the facility’s dress code, which typically includes guidelines such as knee-length skirts or shorts, closed-toe shoes, and no revealing or tight-fitting clothing. Additionally, visitors from out of state should prepare accordingly for a successful visit, considering the distance and travel requirements.
