Denver Reception And Diagnostic Center

Visiting at Denver Reception & Diagnostic Center (DRDC) includes contact, non-contact, special, and video visits. In-person visiting runs Saturday and Sunday during posted hours—you'll need an appointment and must follow the facility's processing schedule. Book by phone or email during DRDC scheduling hours, but no more than seven days ahead. Video visits must be scheduled by midnight the day before. Special visits are for infrequent or long-distance visitors and require a Special Visitation Application submitted per facility instructions. Bring a current, unexpired government photo ID with an address matching your visiting application. On arrival, you'll complete AR Form 300-01B (consent to search) and may receive a UV hand stamp. Leave prohibited items in your car—phones, vaping devices, cosmetics, and tobacco aren't allowed in the visiting area. Vending machines are card-only.

Staying in touch with someone at Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center (DRDC) may include phone calls, video visits, tablet messaging, or electronic mail, depending on what the facility and its vendor offer. DRDC uses Securus for video visiting, and you can't book until you're approved on the inmate's visiting list. Plan ahead: video visits must be scheduled by midnight the day before, and you can reserve a slot no more than seven days in advance. Session length and per-inmate limits are set by the facility and enforced during booking—check the Securus booking screen for exact caps. Every participant must be approved, or the visit can be ended and future visits suspended.

Sending money to someone at Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center follows CDOC rules—don't mail cash or money orders to the facility, because mailed funds aren't accepted. You have three deposit options: online, by phone, or in person at approved cash locations. CDOC works with third-party vendors including JPay, Western Union, and GTL. ConnectNetwork (GTL/TouchPay) manages trust/commissary deposits, and fees vary by vendor. Send money before the 4:00 p.m. MT cutoff and it's generally available the next day, but allow 2–3 days to ensure it's there for canteen ordering. Note that CDOC must withhold at least 20% of deposits for court-ordered obligations.

Use the physical street address when you need a street location or are planning an in-person visit.
