Understanding the 18-Visitor Limit: Who Can Visit Your Loved One at Caswell CC
Planning visits to Caswell Correctional Center? The
At Caswell CC, each offender is allowed up to 18 approved visitors total. That number includes adults and minors, so children count toward the 18 just like adults do. If you’re trying to decide “who can visit,” the key is whether a person is on that approved list - and whether there’s still room under the 18-person cap.
Note: The 18-person limit is about how many people can be approved to visit overall - not how many people can walk in together on a single day.
Even with a full approved list, visits aren’t unlimited. Under normal circumstances at Caswell CC, an offender is allowed no more than one visiting session per week. That means most families have to plan ahead and coordinate who will use that week’s visit.
Under normal circumstances, that weekly session won’t exceed two hours. If you’re traveling a long distance, it helps to go in knowing the visit is capped - so you can set expectations and make the most of the time you have.
There’s also a “per session” limit. Normally, no more than three approved visitors can attend a single visiting session. So even if your loved one has 10, 15, or all 18 people approved, only a small group can visit at once. In practice, that often means you’ll rotate visitors from week to week, or choose a consistent group of up to three who usually attend.
Planning tip: Think of 18 as the “approved list ceiling.” Weekly and session limits (one session per week, up to two hours, and normally up to three visitors at a time) determine how visits actually play out.
Before anyone can visit, their visitor application has to be completed and approved by facility staff. If someone isn’t approved yet, they won’t be able to visit - even if there’s space available under the 18-visitor cap.
If you need to add someone, remove someone, or you’re not sure who is currently approved, contact the prison directly for guidance on what Caswell CC will allow and what’s needed next. Visits are by appointment only, so you’ll need to call or email the prison to schedule. And to avoid a wasted trip, call the day before your scheduled visit to confirm the facility’s visitation status.
Planning Tips
- ✓ Decide who truly needs to be on the approved list right now (and who can wait).
- ✓ Keep track of every person on the list, including minors, since children count toward the 18 slots.
- ✓ Set a simple rotation so different relatives get a chance to visit over time.
- ✓ Coordinate in advance who will attend each visit, since only a small group can visit in a single session.
- ✓ If your family is large, pick a “core three” for most sessions and rotate others in on certain weeks.
Reminder: Visits are by appointment only. Call or email to schedule, and call the day before your appointment to confirm the facility’s visitation status before you travel.
