Communication

In-state visitors can't schedule more than 14 days in advance, so plan your request around that window. Your application must include a copy of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID. Once you're approved as an active visitor, the facility runs a background check every year. Go a full year without visiting and you'll be deactivated. At that point, you'd need to reapply to get your privileges back. Follow the facility's visiting rules in Administrative Regulation 300-01, as violations can end your privileges. For phone, video, or messaging options, complete visitor approval first, then follow vendor and facility instructions to set up accounts or schedule online visits.
