Caroline Detention Facility Visiting Hours — Who Can Visit When (by custody level)
Visiting at Caroline Detention Facility happens on weekends, but your exact time slot depends on your loved one's custody classification. Match the right window below and plan around the facility's processing cutoffs.
Weekend social visitation runs Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. - but don't just show up anytime. The facility assigns specific slots by custody level, so you'll need to visit during the window that matches your loved one's classification.
Visits are capped at 60 minutes. Plan accordingly - once you're in the visiting session, that's your maximum.
Visiting a female detainee? Your window is Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Build in extra time for check-in so you're ready when the session starts.
Special Management visitation is Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. It's a short, early slot - get organized before you leave home.
Medium- to high-custody male detainees have visits Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is the afternoon window for that classification.
Low- to medium-custody male detainees visit Saturday and Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Since this is the later slot, keep the evening processing cutoff in mind when planning your arrival.
Custody classification determines your visiting window. Show up during the wrong slot and you may be turned away - even if you're technically there during weekend visiting hours. Before you go, confirm whether your loved one is classified as low/medium custody, medium/high custody, Special Management, or housed in the female area. Then match that to the schedule above.
Heads up: Visitation is not allowed during a detainee’s first 10 days at the facility.
