How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Alexander Correctional offers both in-person and video visits—all by appointment. Call the day before to confirm the facility's visitation status. Before visiting, your visitor application must be completed and approved. The offender gets blank application forms from the facility and can't submit applications on a visitor's behalf. If you're 16 or older, include a copy of an approved photo ID with your application. Minors under 16 need to attach a birth certificate instead. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors, with an open enrollment period every six months to update the list. Normally, visits are limited to one session per week (up to two hours), with no more than three visitors per session. Offenders in segregation can only have non-contact visits by appointment.
