How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
DOCCS encourages family and friend visits to Bare Hill Correctional Facility, viewing them as a positive influence during incarceration and after release. When you arrive, the DOCCS Visitor Hospitality Center offers shelter, restrooms, baby changing stations, lockers, and information about visitation rules and packages. Visits follow DOCCS rules designed to protect visitors, staff, and the incarcerated population. You'll show ID at check-in and go through security screening—typically a metal detector or body scanner—which can take time. Plan ahead: many facilities require or strongly recommend scheduling in advance and arriving early. Confirm Bare Hill's current booking rules and schedule before you go.
