Before You Go: CRC's Visitor Processing Deadlines and Session Times You Need to Know

CRC ofrece dos sesiones diarias de visitas: AM funciona de 8:30am a 11:30am, PM funciona de 12:00pm a 3:15pm. Estas son las franjas en las que la sala de visitas está abierta. ¿Tu objetivo? Estar completamente procesado antes del cierre para la sesión a la que quieras asistir.

Here's where people get tripped up: "visiting session hours" and "visitor processing hours" aren't the same thing. Processing only happens 8:00am to 9:15am and 11:00am to 1:00pm. You can't just walk in anytime during a session and expect to get through. For the AM session (8:30am–11:30am), you must complete processing before 9:15am. For the PM session (12:00pm–3:15pm), the cutoff is 1:00pm. Notice that processing starts before the visiting room even opens in the morning. Plan your arrival around those processing windows - not the session start times.

• ✓ Completed Visitor Application (DRC2096)
• ✓ Signed Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554)
• ✓ Signed General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274)
• ✓ Copy of bona fide identification

Don't wait until the morning of your trip to find out you're not approved. Call the facility 10–14 business days after submitting your visiting application to verify approval. Once you're cleared, focus on the part you control: arriving early enough to finish processing before the 9:15am (AM) or 1:00pm (PM) cutoff.

Miss the processing window, miss the session. Processing only happens 8:00am–9:15am and 11:00am–1:00pm. If you arrive too late to complete processing before 9:15am (AM) or 1:00pm (PM), you won't get in - even if there's still time left in visiting hours.

1. Call CRC for direction - Ask what your options are for that day and what you should do differently next time to meet the processing cutoff.
2. Confirm your next visit plan - If approval status is part of the problem, call 10–14 business days after submitting your visiting application to verify you’re approved before you make the trip again.
