What to Do If Your Oregon State Penitentiary Visiting Application Is Denied
A denial doesn't have to be the end. Oregon DOC lets you — or the adult in custody — request an administrative review using form CD 1594.
Complete the Request for Administrative Review form (CD 1594) and send it to the Visiting Services Unit. The deadline is strict: your request must arrive within 60 days of the date on your denial letter. Either you (the prospective visitor) or the adult in custody can submit this request.
Time-sensitive: The 60-day clock starts from the date printed on your denial letter. Factor in mailing time - the form needs to arrive within that window, not just be postmarked.
Fill out CD 1594 completely and attach any documents you want considered. Use the explanation section to clearly state why you're requesting a review and include any information relevant to your eligibility.
- ✓ A fully completed CD 1594 (don’t leave sections blank)
- ✓ A clear written explanation of why you’re requesting administrative review
- ✓ Copies of any documents you want considered (for example: paperwork, records, or correspondence that supports what you’re saying)
- ✓ A copy of the denial letter (so the reviewer can match your request to the denial)
Mail the completed Request for Administrative Review (CD 1594) to: Visitor Services 3723 Fairview Industrial Drive SE STE 200 Salem, OR 97302-4975
The review process checks whether the denial was based on incorrect information or an error in the eligibility decision. When filling out your CD 1594, focus on the specific issue - explain what you believe went wrong and attach documents that support your case.
