Hi Marisela,
Please note the following information:
Number of Visitors
: All offenders, except
those who are being processed through
intake, in solitary confinement, G5,
lockdown status or administrative
segregation, are allowed one visit every
weekend, normally two adults for two
hours. Children under the age of 18
are
not counted in this number, and must be
accompanied by an approved adult visitor
(18 years or older). The number of
children allowed per visit will be based on
the amount of space available for

Additional adult visitors may be allowed
at the Warden’s discretion if special
circumstances arise and space permits.

Hello,
I have a question regarding visiting list…I want to know if I am able to visit my friend and how do I know if I am on his list or not? I live far from the facility so I am worried I may not be allowed to visit him…
Hi Neverelie,
Confirm the offender is assigned to the unit you are planning to visit and has visitation privileges. The visitation information provided through the link below is updated once daily during weekdays and multiple times per day on visitation days. Visitors should call the unit for final confirmation before traveling to the unit.
I qualify (milewise) for a special visit however I am told by ‘records dept’ that because I’m not family I won’t be approved, “so no use asking for it”. The website does not specify that. I’ve asked to speak to the warden since thats what the warden and a guard told my boyfriend to tell me and they refuse to transfer me . The warden said it doesnt matter as long as im on the list and more than 250 miles (1600 miles) what can I do ?
Hi Gina,
We recommend contacting the prison chaplain for help.
My significant other was transfered here exactly 2 weeks ago, i have sent like 2-3 letters, how soon does he receive those? and what would be the reason for visitation delay? i check on the website daily and still says No visitation, do i have to like do an application or by him adding me on his list is enough?
will I be able to visit my husband with my home country passport since I don’t have a us id ?will I have any problems in the way in or out ?
Hi Stacie,
You have posed a difficult question. You would have to review the judicial and legislative process ( state & federal) over the last 50 years.
Hi Jeannette,
With an official government I.D. such as a passport, you should not have any problem. The passport is required to have a current address.
My fiance was just transferred there. How does the in take process works??. Do i really have to wait 2 weeks to talk to him because of in-take process
Can I wear jewelry
