Start with the Connecticut DOC Inmate Search - it's the official tool the DOC directs families to for locating someone. If you have the person's DOC number, use it. Otherwise, search by name and double-check the results to make sure you've got the right person.
Once you've confirmed the current facility, head to the DOC's Visiting information and FAQ. That page will walk you through next steps - and it makes one thing clear: you can't just show up. You'll need to get on the person's approved visiting list first by following the process in the Visiting FAQ.
If the Inmate Search doesn't give you a clear answer, contact the Connecticut DOC Public Information Office: 24 Wolcott Hill Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109, phone 860-692-7780. Have identifying details ready - full legal name, date of birth, and the DOC number if you have it. That'll speed things up.
- ✓ Full legal name (as committed)
- ✓ Date of birth
- ✓ DOC number (if you know it)
- ✓ Your relationship to the person
- ✓ Why you’re calling (for example: confirming current facility location)
Trying to arrange a privileged or professional visit? You may see Corrigan.ProfVisit@ct.gov in DOC materials. Since Corrigan is closed, treat that as a starting point - not a guarantee.

- Use the privileged/professional visit email as a starting point - if your request relates to Corrigan, you can email Corrigan.ProfVisit@ct.gov with identifying details and a clear, brief request.
- Verify the correct channel if you don’t get a clear response - call the Connecticut DOC Public Information Office at 860-692-7780 (24 Wolcott Hill Road, Wethersfield, CT 06109) and ask where your request should be directed now that Corrigan is closed.
Limits to know: There's no public DOC list showing exactly where Corrigan residents were transferred. If the Inmate Search doesn't help, call the DOC Public Information Office.
