Washington Corr. Center For Women, WA

To visit someone at Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW), start by completing and submitting the visitor application—you must be approved before being placed on the incarcerated person's Approved Visitor List. Applications are reviewed in the order received and can take up to 45 business days (longer if extra review is needed), so plan ahead and submit only once. Sending a duplicate application voids your earlier submission and restarts processing from scratch. If you want off an Approved Visitor List, submit a written removal request to the Statewide Visit Unit. After removal, you'll generally need to wait 90 calendar days before applying to visit the same or another incarcerated person, unless a limited waiver applies. Minors must also be approved and meet notarized consent requirements.

Video visits at Washington Correctional Center for Women (WCCW) require you to be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list. Register a Securus account using a name and date of birth that match your legal ID. Once approved, schedule visits through Securus at least 24 hours ahead—appointments are first come, first served and booked in 30-minute blocks. All video sessions are recorded and actively monitored. Bringing a non-approved person into the visit can get your privileges suspended. For phone calls, you don't need to file an application or complete verification to receive calls, though conversations may be monitored or recorded. The DOC allows unmonitored legal calls to bar-recognized numbers. Three-way calling and call forwarding aren't permitted.

Send mail to Washington Correctional Center for Women only through USPS, UPS, or FedEx—other carriers aren't accepted. Address every item with the incarcerated individual's full name, six-digit DOC number, and the correct facility address (including the unit name is requested but not required). Don't include cash, personal checks, or stamps in mailed correspondence—those items will be rejected and returned at the incarcerated individual's expense. For legal correspondence, label it clearly (for example, "Legal Mail" or "Attorney/Client"). Legal mail is opened in the incarcerated individual's presence and inspected to confirm it qualifies and contains no contraband. For regular mail, use standard addressing and a clear return address to help avoid delivery delays.

Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) accepts three options for depositing money into an incarcerated person's trust account: Securus Debit, Western Union, or mailing a cashier's check or money order. Deposits are subject to mandatory deductions unless the funds are specifically exempted for purposes like postage, education, or qualified medical expenses. If you want a mailed cashier's check or money order applied to a restricted sub-account, clearly mark the sub-account on the instrument (for example: "postage," "medical," "education," or "commissary"). Include the person's full name, six-digit DOC number, the correct facility address, and a USPS-defined return address on the envelope. Don't mail cash or personal checks.
