Why Visits Are Currently 30 Minutes at Corrigan (and Which Holidays Affect Visiting)
Planning a visit at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center? Here's what you need to know: social visits are shorter than you might expect, and certain dates are completely off-limits due to state holidays.
Social visits at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center are currently limited to 30 minutes. This is the active Department of Correction policy for visits at the facility.
This 30-minute limit is in place "until further notice" - meaning it's temporary and could change. If you're used to longer visits, adjust your expectations now. Plan for a shorter, more focused conversation so you're not caught off guard at check-in.
Why only 30 minutes? The Department of Correction says the shorter visits allow time for proper disinfecting before and after each session. That extra turnover time supports safety while keeping visiting available.
Plan for a quick visit: With only 30 minutes, it helps to arrive ready and use the time intentionally - once your visit starts, it goes fast.

Even if your date isn't a holiday, verify visiting details before you leave home. The Department of Correction notes that visitation can be canceled at any time for safety and security reasons - they strongly encourage checking the facility website before your trip.
- ✓ Check the facility website before you travel in case visitation has been canceled for safety or security reasons
- ✓ Confirm the current visit length (30 minutes, until further notice) so you can plan accordingly
- ✓ Make sure your visit date does not fall on a state-observed holiday when visits are not held
