Weekend-Only Visits at Bent County: Plan Around Friday–Sunday 10:00–3:50
Bent County Correctional Facility only allows visits on weekends, so planning ahead is essential. Here's how to get your approval squared away, time your arrival right, and handle day-of logistics without losing your visit window.
Visiting days at Bent County Correctional Facility are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Hours run from 10:00 am to 3:50 pm. If you're traveling from out of town, plan your drive (and any overnight stay) around that single mid-day window.
Note: Holidays don't change the schedule at Bent County. Don't assume a holiday weekend means extra visiting time.
The facility starts processing visitors at 9:30 am, half an hour before visiting hours officially begin at 10:00 am. That head start matters.
If you show up right at 10:00 am, processing is already underway and you'll spend part of your visit window waiting in line. Aim to arrive by 9:30 am so you can check in early and make the most of the full 10:00 am to 3:50 pm visiting period.
One-entry rule: Once you leave the facility during your visit, you won't be allowed back in that day.
- ✓ Use the restroom and handle personal needs before you enter.
- ✓ Eat beforehand so you are not tempted to leave mid-visit.
- ✓ Bring what you need for the full visit window the first time (anything you will want access to during the visit), since you cannot step out and come back.
- ✓ Double-check you have your car keys and anything you need to travel home, because returning to your vehicle can end your visit.
Practical Travel Planning Checklist
- ✓ Plan your trip around the visiting window: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 am to 3:50 pm.
- ✓ Build your morning around processing starting at 9:30 am so you are not arriving after check-in has already begun.
- ✓ Submit your visiting application early. Approvals typically take about 45 days on average.
- ✓ Include a copy of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID with your visiting application.
- ✓ Make sure the address on your photo ID matches the address on your visiting application, or the application may be denied.
The biggest planning mistake with a weekend-only schedule is waiting too long to apply. Visiting approvals for Bent County typically take approximately 45 days on average, so start that process well before you book time off work, reserve lodging, or plan a long drive. On the day of your visit, keep your morning open. Processing begins at 9:30 am, and arriving early gives you the best shot at spending more of the 10:00 am to 3:50 pm visiting hours with your person instead of standing in line.
- Make a clean copy of your ID: Your visiting application must include a copy of a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.
- Check the address match: The address on your photo ID must match the address you put on the visiting application.
- Fix mismatches before you submit: If the addresses do not match, correct the application information or update your ID before you send the paperwork, since a mismatch can lead to denial.
- Keep a copy for your records: Save a copy of what you submitted so you can reference it if questions come up later.
