Visiting checklist for CoreCivic facilities: IDs, who can visit, and items you can't bring

Visitor limits depend on who houses the person you're visiting and how much space the visiting area has. One CoreCivic facility (USMS) caps it at three visitors at a time. Bringing the whole family? Confirm the current limit before you make the trip - Davis may have different numbers.

Another CoreCivic facility (ICE) allows up to two adults and two children at a time. Plan around those caps if you're visiting as a group - the front desk will enforce the "at one time" rule strictly. Verify Davis-specific limits ahead of time so you don't have to turn people away at the door.

Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. CoreCivic materials typically list a driver's license or passport as acceptable. Pick whichever ID is easiest for staff to verify quickly, and make sure it's in good condition and matches your current name. Individual facilities can add their own requirements, so confirm what Davis accepts before you go.

Expect to register when you arrive. At least one CoreCivic facility requires all visitors to register upon entering - checking in, presenting ID, and being logged before you can proceed. Build extra time into your day for check-in, especially if you're bringing children or visiting during a busy window.

Prohibited Items

• ✓ Explosive devices
• ✓ Firearms
• ✓ Ammunition
• ✓ Alcoholic beverages
• ✓ Narcotics or illegal drugs
• ✓ Any object or material that could be used to compromise the safety and security of the facility

• ✓ Cell phones
• ✓ Pagers
• ✓ Games
• ✓ Other electronic devices

Bringing kids? Plan for active supervision. One CoreCivic facility requires children under 18 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. In practice, that means at least one adult should stay focused on the child the entire time - for safety and to keep the visit from being cut short.

When a minor isn't arriving with a parent or legal guardian, expect extra paperwork. Some facilities require documentation like a birth certificate or notarized permission for entry. Call ahead and ask exactly what Davis requires - you don't want to get stuck at the lobby desk without the right documents.

1. Email the request at least one week ahead - For CAFCC, special visit requests are initiated by the visitor by emailing CAFCCVisitation@corecivic.com at least one week before the requested date.
2. Include the proposed date and time - Put the date/time you’re asking for in the request so staff can evaluate availability.
3. Attach supporting documentation - CAFCC’s process requires documentation with the request; Davis may have a different method or different lead time, so confirm before you rely on this example.

• ✓ Proof of residency: a scanned copy of a valid ID / driver’s license / passport
• ✓ Bring the matching physical ID for the lobby: upon approval, the visitor must present the corresponding ID to the Lobby Officer before entering

• ✓ Proof you’re immediate family (may be required): birth certificate or marriage certificate
