How to Schedule a Visit at Chippewa CF: The 48-hour Rule, 7-day Window, and the New 8:00 a.m. Release

Chippewa Correctional Facility uses a tight scheduling window. You must book at least 48 hours ahead, but no more than 7 days out. Picture a rolling one-week calendar that stays two days in front of you: if today is Monday, the earliest slot you can grab is Wednesday, and the furthest is next Monday. Try to book tomorrow? Won't meet the 48-hour rule. Two weeks out? The system won't accept it yet.
