Dayton Correctional's Visiting Hours: In-Person and Video Schedules
Planning a visit to Dayton Correctional? Timing matters. Here are the current in-person visiting sessions, daily video visiting windows, and orientation times first-time visitors need to attend.
The first in-person visiting session at Dayton Correctional runs Wednesday through Sunday, 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. This is the earlier of two daily visit windows.
A second in-person session runs on the same days (Wednesday through Sunday), from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. If you're planning an evening visit, this is the time block to work with.
Video visits are available every day from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. This is a solid option if in-person hours don't work for your schedule.
A daily midday video window runs from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. If afternoons work better for you, this is the slot to book.
Dayton Correctional also offers evening video visits daily from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It's the latest option on the schedule and works well if daytime hours are tough.
Quick schedule check: Video visiting is available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
First time visiting in person? You'll need to complete an orientation session. For the first visit window (12:15–3:15 p.m.), orientation starts promptly at noon. Plan to arrive before noon, even if your visit time starts later.
If you're scheduled for the later in-person session (4:30–7:30 p.m.), orientation starts at 4:00 p.m. Arrive with enough time to check in and be ready right at 4:00.
First-time visitors: Orientation is required before your first in-person visit. It starts promptly at noon or 4:00 p.m., depending on which session you're attending. Don't be late.
Visiting hours at Dayton Correctional can change without notice. Confirm the current schedule before you make the trip so you don't get turned away at the door.
Call ahead to confirm hours, especially if you're coordinating travel around the Wednesday through Sunday in-person sessions. Dayton Correctional's phone number is (937) 263-0060.
Planning Tips
- ✓ Reserve your visit through the ViaPath portal.
- ✓ If you’re a first-time visitor, arrive in time for the noon orientation (for the first session) or the 4:00 p.m. orientation (for the second session).
- ✓ Have your required documents ready for visitation (for example, custody paperwork, a birth certificate, and an authorization of minor child form), or you may not be permitted to enter.
When you book, double-check which in-person session you're reserving. Dayton Correctional runs two blocks Wednesday through Sunday: 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Showing up during the wrong window can cost you the visit.
