How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before visiting someone at Chillicothe Correctional Institution, you'll need to complete the adult Visiting Application (DRC2096), sign the Declaration and General Visiting Instructions, and provide a legible photo ID. Submit everything to the facility following their instructions, then wait for approval before scheduling anything through the visitation portal. Visits in Ohio prisons are monitored and may be recorded—this applies to both on-site kiosk and remote video visits. Once approved, register in the facility's portal to schedule video or in-person sessions. Remote video visits typically have vendor-specific fees and cancellation rules. Check the facility's official visitation page for the portal link, vendor details, and any local rules.
