How to Get on an Inmate's Visitation List at Butler County Prison
You can't just show up at Butler County Prison and ask to visit—your name has to be on the inmate's approved visitation list first. The good news? The process is straightforward once you understand who controls the list and how scheduling works.
At Butler County Prison, the inmate fills out the visitation list - not you. They can include up to five adult visitors, and they'll need each person's name, address, and phone number. The bottom line: your loved one has to add you. Make sure they have your current contact info so they can do it correctly.
Note: Names on an inmate’s visitation list are confidential and won’t be released to anyone.
At Butler County Prison, being on the visitation list is the gatekeeper for everything. If your name isn't on the inmate's list, no visit gets scheduled - period. So step one is always getting added. Scheduling and check-in only happen after your name is already approved.
- ✓ Present photo identification to the lobby officer
- ✓ Tell the lobby officer which inmate you are there to see
Here, the inmate handles scheduling. Your loved one will contact you to set up a time for the visit. Once you've agreed on a time, they need to notify the Pod Correction Officer so the officer can confirm that slot is available. To make this easier, let your loved one know upfront when you're free - they'll pass that information along inside the pod.
Inmates can only change their visitation list once every 30 days. If you need to be added - or if someone needs to be removed to make room - plan ahead. Updates can't happen right before a visit.
Butler County Prison keeps visitation lists confidential. Staff won't release the names on any inmate's list, so don't bother calling the facility to check your status. You'll need to confirm directly with your loved one.
