How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Clara Waters Community Corrections follows ODOC visitation procedures. Every visitor must submit an ODOC Visitor Application Form (paper forms can be sent to ODOC headquarters, addressed to the Visitation Unit P.O. Box). If you're 18 or older, expect a background check and additional scheduling steps before your visit is confirmed. Scheduled requests aren't final until facility staff confirms them. Children under 18 can visit, but you'll need documentation proving parentage or legal guardianship. If a child on the list turns 18, they must submit their own visitor application to stay eligible. No more than five approved visitors may visit at one time. New arrivals without an approved list may be allowed one family visit within 30 days if the family is listed in the field file while forms are returned. Visits and remote options may be monitored or recorded.
