How to Visit Eastern Correctional Institution, Md (MD)

To request an in-person visit at ECI, email ECI.InmateVisitation@maryland.gov. Pay close attention to any instructions in their response. That reply is where you'll find the specific details you need for your visit.

Expect security screening when you arrive. All visitors must clear a metal detector. If you can't clear it, your visit may be denied. Dress matters too: everyone, including children, must wear clothing that covers from the neck to the kneecaps.

1. Email your visitation request - Send your request to ECI.InmateVisitation@maryland.gov.
2. Follow the instructions you receive - Use the facility’s reply to confirm what you need to do next for an in-person visit.

• ✓ Complete the COVID-19 screening questionnaire
• ✓ Be ready for a temperature check
• ✓ Wear a mask covering your nose and mouth at all times

• ✓ Clear the metal detector, or your visit may be denied
• ✓ Dress so clothing covers from the neck to the kneecaps (this applies to children, too)

When you email ECI.InmateVisitation@maryland.gov, confirm your appointment details and any instructions you need to follow. Use that same email thread to ask what documents you should bring and what steps to complete before showing up.

Before you travel, verify the current health screening and masking requirements. Visitors are subject to a COVID-19 screening questionnaire and temperature check, and masks covering the nose and mouth are required at all times. These policies can change, so check before your visit.

Confirm entry and dress expectations ahead of time so you don't get turned away. You must clear a metal detector (or your visit may be denied), and clothing needs to cover from the neck to the kneecaps for adults and children. Have questions about what's allowed or any exceptions? Ask in your email when you request the visit.
