General Visitation Information

Family Visits

Friends and Family Visits are conducted seven (7) days a week; 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. To schedule a visit, please send an email to schedulemvpc@geogroup.com.

Visit sessions will normally be a minimum of two hours, dependent upon the number of visitors and staff availability. More time may be authorized by the Staff Duty Officer for family members traveling significant distances. A maximum of two adults (18 years or older) and two children (17 years or younger) may visit at any one time. Any disruptive behavior by either party will result in the termination of the visit and may cause future visits to be denied. Visitors who bring children are expected to maintain direct supervision of those children and prevent disruption to other visitors.

Visitors are not permitted to carry personal items into the visiting area. Numbered keys are provided at the entrance of the facility to secure those items into a locker.

No adult visitor shall be admitted without positive identification, such as a driver's license or other government issued photo identification.

MVPC does allow minor visitation. Minors will remain under the direct supervision of an adult visitor, so not to disturb other visitors. Disruptive conduct by minors, accompanying adults or detainees may cause termination of the visit.
