In-person visitation at Chillicothe Correctional Center runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in two sessions: 9:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m. Treatment residents visit on Saturdays and Sundays during those same hours, scheduled around treatment classes. Weekend visits for treatment residents are limited to immediate family plus the designated significant other. Before visiting, you'll need to complete the online visiting application and pass a criminal-history check. The offender is responsible for letting you know once you're approved. Each offender may have up to three approved visitors, plus up to three additional children age 5 and under (some restrictions may further limit visits). Plan to arrive no more than 30 minutes early. Entry is first-come, first-served, and expect security screening. Visitors, packages, and vehicles may all be searched and scanned.
