How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Planning a legal visit at Bayside State Prison? Give the facility administrator at least 24 hours' notice—by phone or in writing—and bring appropriate ID. Attorneys on the Departmental banned list cannot visit. The facility can restrict or deny contact visits for safety and security reasons; if that happens, staff will try to arrange a non-contact visit instead. Keep in mind that visitation logistics like appointments, approved visitor lists, and ID requirements can vary, and visits may be monitored. For legal videoconferences, NJDOC typically requires advance scheduling (often a 48-hour request window). Check Bayside's scheduling or legal-visit materials for current procedures.
