Clinton Correctional Facility, NY

Clinton Correctional Facility typically holds visits on weekends. Like many New York state prisons, visiting days are organized by the incarcerated person's DIN last digit (odd or even) or by the visitor's last name—check the facility's visitation calendar to see which group you fall into. Holiday weekends often follow different rules or may be open to all visitors, so review the calendar before booking travel. Most facilities require you to schedule visits in advance, though the method varies (online, phone, in-person, or walk-in). On visit day, expect check-in and screening: photo ID verification, metal detector or body scanner, and sometimes health checks. Arrive early to allow time for processing. Legal or professional visits and visits to people in special housing may have different procedures.

The Clinton Correctional Facility information page was last updated January 24, 2026 and includes notices that matter if you're planning a visit. A state announcement warns of extreme cold (feels-like temperatures below zero) and a winter storm that could bring up to 18 inches of snow—conditions that may affect operations or your travel. Check the facility page for January event dates, including a note that the Excelsior Scholarship application is open during the early-January dates shown. You'll also find family-focused resources: eligibility information for people who were near the World Trade Center during or after 9/11, and a reminder encouraging kids and families to reduce device use, get outdoors, and prioritize mental and physical health.
