Dodge Corrections Inst., Wi

All visits at Dodge Correctional Institution (DCI)—video and in-person—must be scheduled through ICSolutions. You'll need an ICSolutions account before you can book anything. In-person visits require at least 48 hours advance notice, and you can only have two visits scheduled at a time (weekly limits may also apply based on status). The person in custody must give you their Party ID—staff won't provide it, and you can't register for video visits without it. Up to five approved visitors can attend each visit. Children under five don't count toward that limit but still need approval. Arrive at least 15 minutes early for processing. Expect metal detection and strict dress-code enforcement. If you need accommodations for certain medical devices, file a DOC-2424 Visitor Requesting Accommodations form. Lockers hold ID and car keys only—leave phones, watches, wallets, and purses in your vehicle. For vending, bring up to $25 in change in a clear pouch (no paper money).

On-unit video visits at Dodge Correctional Institution must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance but no more than seven days out. They're not available for RHU residents. Each visit runs 25 minutes, and you may need to show photo ID when it starts. Under DOC policy, each person in custody gets one free video visit per week. General Population residents can purchase up to 12 additional 25-minute visits per month (about $2.50 each) if facility operations allow. If either you or the resident is more than 10 minutes late, the visit cancels automatically. For tablet messaging, DOC is transitioning services to ICSolutions. Set up a GettingOut (GTL) account, but don't close your CorrLinks account until DOC says to.

Dodge Correctional Institution routes personal incoming mail through TextBehind. Send physical letters to TextBehind at P.O. Box 189, Phoenix, MD 21131. They'll photocopy your letter and deliver the scan to the person in custody. Include full sender and recipient details so the scanned copy gets matched correctly. TextBehind keeps originals briefly and shreds them 30 days after scanning—hold onto your own records if you might need the paper later. Legal mail and identifiable medical mail shouldn't go through TextBehind. Send those directly to the facility address so they're handled unopened under institutional procedures. Prefer digital? Send electronic letters and cards through family.textbehind.com. Pricing starts at $0.49, and some submissions allow up to four photos.

Need to reach Dodge Correctional Institution? Start with the facility contact page—the street address is listed there for visitors. Before calling, figure out which office handles your question. Administration, records, victim services, and the state DOC each handle different requests. For bookings or records, check the facility or county contact page for the right number. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 (facility phone lines may not be staffed around the clock). For everything else, use the facility's public or administrative lines. Going in person for a visit, payment, or bond posting? Bring a valid photo ID and any inmate case number or required forms. Check posted instructions ahead of time for specific ID or paperwork requirements.
