Visitation at Dorsey Run Correctional Facility

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visitation at Dorsey Run Correctional Facility is a privilege, not a right. You must be on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list before you can visit. Dorsey Run offers virtual social visits through Microsoft Teams—to use video visitation, complete the DPSCS Video Visitation Form, create a Microsoft Teams account, and sign the required acknowledgement. If you're 16 or older, bring a valid state-issued photo ID. Be prepared for security screening, which may include frisk searches and fingerprint identification. Refuse and you won't get in. Video visitation applicants can't have an open arrest warrant. Follow the Department dress code: no tube tops, tank tops, halter tops, see-through clothing, or miniskirts. And never bring contraband—phones, unauthorized devices, drugs, weapons, or alcohol can lead to criminal charges and suspended visiting privileges.
