Brooklyn Correctional Inst, CT.

Visiting at Brooklyn Correctional Inst starts with the incarcerated person. They submit your name and address to their counselor, who then mails you a Visiting Application Form to complete and return. Approvals typically take two to three weeks, though the warden may allow a courtesy visit for up to two adult immediate family members before formal approval is finished. Arrive at least 15 minutes early for any scheduled visit. Late arrivals can be shortened or canceled. Video visits require a device with audio and video plus a valid email, and they're limited to three authorized adult visitors (youth living in the household typically don't count toward that limit). Bring valid photo ID and any required minor paperwork, and follow check-in and dress rules.

Brooklyn Correctional Institution offers tablet access and e-messaging through JPay/Securus, the department's contracted provider. Incarcerated people can send and receive electronic messages through this approved vendor. Phone communication works differently: there are no incoming calls. Your loved one places outgoing calls through the facility's phone vendor using an approved calling list. They can submit up to 10 phone numbers for approval, and once approved, calls are generally limited to about 15 minutes depending on schedule and vendor rules. Starting August 18, 2025, you can deposit funds directly to an incarcerated person's tablet media account through JPay's website or mobile app. Deposits apply immediately. Video visits and e-messaging setup follow the facility instructions and vendor signup steps.
