How to Visit Facility
Visiting at ASPC-Cheyenne (Cheyenne Unit) is straightforward once you match your plan to the right visit type and schedule. Start by confirming the current calendar, then make sure any required approvals and background-check payments are handled before you travel.
Cheyenne Unit's general population visitation runs on Saturdays, Sundays, and posted holidays. Two time blocks are available: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Enhanced evening visits run from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., but registration closes at 2:00 p.m. Arrive late and you may miss the cutoff entirely. Non-contact visits are held on Tuesdays by appointment only (subject to availability). ADCRR publishes a Cheyenne Unit visitation calendar on its visitation schedule page. Check it before you go to confirm dates and catch any unit-specific updates.
Visit length at Cheyenne Unit depends on the inmate's phase level. Keep this in mind when planning your day, especially if you're traveling or coordinating with other family members. Need to visit outside the normal schedule? Special visits require approval from the Cheyenne Unit Deputy Warden. The inmate must submit a written request at least 30 days in advance, so last-minute arrangements aren't realistic.
Payment reminder: Visitation background-check payments must be made electronically. Have your Application Visitor ID ready when you submit payment.
- Match your visit type to the posted schedule. General population visits run Saturdays, Sundays, and posted holidays (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Cheyenne Unit also lists enhanced evening visit times (2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), and registration ends at 2:00 p.m.
- Use the ADCRR visitation schedule to confirm the current calendar. ADCRR publishes a Cheyenne Unit visitation calendar entry, which helps you confirm dates before you make the trip.
- Plan ahead for non-contact visits. Non-contact visits are on Tuesdays and require an appointment (subject to availability), so you will need to arrange that ahead of time.
- Confirm the inmate’s phase level. The phase level determines the length of the visit at Cheyenne Unit, so it affects how you plan your arrival and transportation.
- Decide if you need a special visit. Special visits may be approved at other times, but they are not automatic.
- Have the inmate submit the request early. The request must be in writing from the inmate and submitted at least 30 days in advance for Deputy Warden approval.
- ✓ Find your Application Visitor ID before you pay.
- ✓ Submit the visitation background-check payment electronically (required).
- ✓ Save your payment confirmation for your records.
Before you head out, double-check that you're working from the current schedule. For Cheyenne Unit, verify the general population weekend and posted-holiday blocks (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.), enhanced evening visit times (2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with registration ending at 2:00 p.m.), and whether Tuesday non-contact appointments are available. ADCRR's visitation schedule includes a Cheyenne Unit calendar entry, which is the best place to cross-check dates.
Plan for timing: Visit length at Cheyenne Unit is determined by the inmate’s phase level. Confirm the phase level before you build your travel plans around a specific visit length.
If you're pursuing a special visit, verify the timeline and expectations upfront. The Deputy Warden can approve special visits at other times, but only after the inmate submits a written request at least 30 days in advance. Since the request has to come from the inmate, make sure you're both working from the same plan.
- ✓ Confirm that electronic payment is still required for the visitation background check.
- ✓ Make sure you have the Application Visitor ID available when you submit payment.
- ✓ Confirm how your payment will be recorded or verified after you submit it.
