The 18-Visitor Limit at Craggy CC: Who Counts, Open Enrollment, and STG Rules
Getting on—or staying on—someone's approved visiting list at Craggy CC comes down to three things: the 18-person cap, the open-enrollment schedule for making changes, and stricter rules for anyone validated as STG Level 2 or 3.
At Craggy CC, each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors total. That number includes adults and minors, so kids on the list still count toward the 18.
Exempt Officials
- ✓ Legal officials (must register with the facility before visiting; not counted toward the 18)
- ✓ Law enforcement officials (must register with the facility before visiting; not counted toward the 18)
- ✓ Consular officials (must register with the facility before visiting; not counted toward the 18)
- ✓ Local and state Family Services officials (must register with the facility before visiting; not counted toward the 18)
- ✓ Juvenile Court officials (must register with the facility before visiting; not counted toward the 18)
When someone transfers to a new facility, their approved visitation list comes with them. A transfer alone doesn't wipe the slate clean.
Release or parole is a different story. Once an offender is released or paroled, their visitation list goes inactive. If they're re-admitted later, the whole visitation process starts from scratch.
Changes to the approved-visitor list follow an open-enrollment schedule. Once an offender hits the 18-person maximum, they can't make adjustments until their next open enrollment period. Open enrollment comes around every six months, tied to the offender's admission date. So if someone was admitted in January, their open-enrollment months are July and January.
Normally, offenders get one visiting session per week, lasting up to two hours.
Even with a full list of 18 approved visitors, only three can visit during a single session.
Note: The facility warden can modify how many approved visitors are allowed during a visiting session based on operational needs and space.
Offenders validated as Security Threat Group (STG) Level 2 can still have contact visits, but only with approved immediate family members. Friends and other non-immediate-family visitors aren't permitted - even if they'd otherwise qualify for the list.
STG Level 3 is more restrictive. Only non-contact visits are allowed, and only with approved immediate family members. Friends and others outside the immediate family can't visit at all.
