Corrigan-Radgowski Corr. Center, CT

Visiting at Corrigan‑Radgowski Corr. Center takes some planning, but the rules are straightforward. In‑person social visits are limited to 30 minutes until further notice. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to check in. Bring valid photo ID—visitors under 16 need a birth certificate plus one additional document, and clothing must be reasonably modest. Each visit allows two visitors total (including children), and you must be on the inmate's approved visitor list. Video visits are free through Microsoft Teams. You'll need a device with audio/video and a valid email address. The visit isn't confirmed until the facility approves it. Up to three authorized adults may join, recording is prohibited, and social visits aren't held on state‑observed holidays.

Staying in touch at Corrigan-Radgowski Corr. Center runs through department-approved systems. For phone calls, the inmate sets up an approved calling list with up to 10 phone numbers. Calls are limited to 15 minutes, and there's no way for you to dial in—calls are outbound only through the facility's vendor network. For written communication, e-messaging runs through JPay on inmate tablets. Set up a JPay account using the DOC-provided link so you can be added to the inmate's messaging list. Vendors and processes can change, so check the facility page for current instructions.

Every letter or item you send to Corrigan‑Radgowski Corr. Center needs the inmate's full name, inmate number, and facility address clearly listed. Want to send reading material? Books and magazines are allowed, but they must be new and shipped directly from the bookstore, book club, or publisher—you can't mail them from home. Clothing packages from family or friends aren't permitted; clothing comes from the agency or through commissary purchases. All incoming and outgoing mail may be inspected for contraband. Legal or privileged mail is handled differently and opened only in the inmate's presence. When a rule requires vendor shipment, have the seller send it straight to the facility.

The web and mobile app have step-by-step instructions, and funds are applied immediately once processed. Tablet media balances cap at $150, so smaller deposits may work better. One thing to know: Securus/JPay won't process a direct tablet deposit if the incarcerated person has outstanding PLRA financial obligations—those need to be resolved first. Prefer mail?
