• 2 min read Verified from official sources

At Anson Correctional Facility, people on administrative or disciplinary segregation are restricted to non-contact visits, and those visits must be scheduled by appointment. The same non-contact, appointment-only restriction also applies to people in control status, except for protective control.

Anson Correctional Facility offers both in-person and video visits. Non-contact rules apply to in-person visitation for those in segregation or qualifying control status. Video visitation may still be available depending on the situation and whether your loved one can access it.

  1. Call or email the prison to set an appointment: In-person visits at Anson Correctional Facility are by appointment only, including non-contact visits.
  2. Schedule before you travel: Do not assume you can walk in. Get the visit on the calendar first by contacting the facility.
  • ✓ Call the prison the day before your scheduled visit to confirm the facility’s visitation status and make sure nothing has changed.

If your loved one is on administrative or disciplinary segregation, or in control status (other than protective control), visits will be non-contact and by appointment only. Anson also offers video visits, so you may be able to connect remotely instead of traveling, depending on what's available and approved.

Tips for Families

  • ✓ Schedule the visit by calling or emailing the prison (in-person visits are appointment only).
  • ✓ Call the day before you go to confirm visitation status.
  • ✓ Plan for screening and follow the facility’s rules on what you can bring inside (many common personal items are not allowed).

Note: Leave cellphones, smartwatches, cameras, recording devices, and smart/AI glasses at home or in your car. These items are not allowed inside the prison.
