How Many Visitors Can Come to Corrigan and How to Get on the Approved List

For social visits at Corrigan-Radgowski, the limit is straightforward: no more than two visitors per visit, and children count toward that number. Visiting as a family? You'll need to plan around that two-person cap.

The per-visit cap is separate from the approved visiting list - the roster of people an inmate can have as potential visitors. Connecticut DOC sets different list sizes by facility level: up to 10 approved visitors (including children) at Level 2, up to 7 at Level 3 or Level 4, and up to 5 at Level 5. Even if someone has the maximum number of people on their approved list, only two can actually show up for any single visit.

1. Ask the inmate who is already approved - before you make plans, confirm whether your name (and any child who will attend) is on the approved visitor list.
2. Complete the visiting application process if you’re not listed - you can’t participate in in-person or video visits until you’re approved and added.
3. Wait for approval before you schedule or travel - once you’re confirmed as approved, you can move forward with planning the visit.

Here's how it works in practice: an incarcerated person might have several people approved to visit overall, but only two can come to any single social visit - and children count toward that limit. Before you head out, confirm that everyone planning to enter (including minors) is actually on the approved list. If they're not, you could be turned away even if the inmate is eligible for visits.

• ✓ Confirm which specific names (including any children) are on the inmate’s approved visitor list.
• ✓ Ask whether the two-visitor per-visit cap is what will be enforced for your planned visit.
• ✓ If you can’t get a clear answer, hold off on traveling until you do.
• ✓ Bring your photo ID and any documentation you have showing you’re approved.
