How to Schedule a Visit at Dooly State Prison (weekends, state holidays, and deadlines)

Dooly State Prison offers visitation on Saturdays and Sundays. Visits are also available on State Holidays, which can be helpful if weekends do not work for your schedule.

Visitation hours at Dooly State Prison run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Plan your request around this window.

All visit requests go through the GDC visitation form. Think of it as your starting point for getting on the schedule, especially if you're trying to lock in a specific weekend or holiday date.

For weekend visits, submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week. Miss that cutoff and you'll have to wait until the following weekend.

State holidays have a different deadline: your request must be in by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.

1. Open GDC's “Add Visitor” option - This is the tool GDC provides for changes after a visit is already scheduled.
2. Find your scheduled visitation - Use the “Add Visitor” process to locate the specific visit you already have on the calendar.
3. Add the additional visitor(s) - Once you have the correct scheduled visitation pulled up, add the extra visitor(s) to that scheduled visit.

1. Use GDC's cancellation option for scheduled visits - GDC provides a way to cancel without starting over.
2. Find your scheduled visitation - Locate the visit you previously set up.
3. Cancel the appointment - Complete the cancellation for that scheduled visitation so it is cleared from the schedule.
