How to Visit El Dorado Correctional Facility (KS)
Visiting El Dorado Correctional Facility comes down to planning ahead. If you're not on the resident's approved visitor list and scheduled in advance, you'll be turned away at the door.
Two things must happen before you can visit El Dorado Correctional Facility: you need to be on the resident's KDOC pre-approved visitation list, and you need a scheduled appointment through the approved channels. Walk-ins are not allowed.
Note: In-person visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours before that week's visitation begins. Miss the cutoff and you'll need to wait for a later week.
Reminder: Only approved visitors with appointments scheduled through ICSolutions (the online scheduler) or the facility visitation clerk will be admitted. Both approval and an appointment are required.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Confirm you are on the resident’s KDOC pre-approved visitation list.
- ✓ Schedule your in-person visit at least 72 hours before visitation begins for that week.
- ✓ Use the required scheduling method: the ICSolutions online visitation scheduler or the facility visitation clerk.
Plan around the facility's daily structure when choosing a time. Each adult facility offers two visitation slots per day (morning and afternoon), so availability can fill up fast. Think about your group size before scheduling. The limit is four visitors per resident per visit. If more than four people want to come, you'll need to take turns.
Before you make the trip, double-check the current rules with official KDOC information or the facility visitation clerk. Confirm the 72-hour scheduling cutoff, that ICSolutions (or the visitation clerk) is still the required booking method, and that you're on the resident's pre-approved visitation list. It's also worth confirming practical details: which morning or afternoon slots are still open, and the current four-visitor limit. These specifics can affect your options even when you're approved.
Warning: If you're not approved and properly scheduled, you can be denied access. Verify your approval status and appointment details ahead of time to avoid a wasted trip.
