Visiting Hours and Weekend Restrictions at Chillicothe Correctional Center

Chillicothe Correctional Center is open for in-person visits on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each visiting day is split into two sessions: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. If you’re trying to plan around work, travel time, or kids’ schedules, those two windows are the ones to build your day around.

For treatment residents, visits are only on Saturday and Sunday - same two time windows: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The facility schedules these visits around treatment classes, so you won't show up only to find your loved one in programming. Keep in mind that treatment housing comes with extra rules beyond just the time of day. Don't assume Friday visits are available for every housing status. If your loved one is in treatment, plan specifically for the Saturday/Sunday schedule.

Before you make the drive, confirm where your loved one is currently housed and whether you'll be visiting in-person or by video. Housing assignments affect which days you can come, who needs to be approved, and what to expect when you arrive. A quick call ahead can save you a wasted trip.

Practical Planning

• ✓ Confirm the current visiting schedule before you travel, especially if you’re visiting a treatment resident.
• ✓ Plan your arrival around the session windows (9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. or 2:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.) so you’re not trying to check in at the very end.
• ✓ Ask ahead whether the facility is limiting the number of visitors or adjusting visit length due to space or staffing.
• ✓ If multiple people are coming, double-check who is allowed to visit (treatment weekends are restricted).
• ✓ Have a backup plan in case the visit type is video instead of in-person for that day.
