Farmington Correctional Center visiting hours and the food-visit / treatment-offender schedule

Farmington Correctional Center runs visits on set days with two daily sessions, plus a rotating weekend-afternoon schedule that determines when food visits and treatment-offender visits happen. Here's how to plan around it.

• 3 min read Verified from official sources

Farmington Correctional Center is open for visits on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Visiting is split into two sessions each day: 9:30am to 1:30pm, and 2:30pm to 6:30pm. If you are trying to coordinate a food visit or a treatment-offender weekend, pay close attention to which afternoon session you’re choosing.

Visitor limit: A visit is limited to 3 visitors per offender. You may also bring up to 3 additional visitors who are age 5 and under.

Farmington uses a rotating pattern for weekend afternoon visits. The 1st and 3rd Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions are designated as food visits. The 2nd and 4th afternoon sessions are reserved for treatment offenders only, meaning those afternoons are not food-visit afternoons.

That rotation changes what you can do during the afternoon session depending on which weekend it falls on. Planning a food visit? Aim for the 1st or 3rd weekend afternoon. The 2nd and 4th are set aside for treatment offenders only. Also plan your group size ahead of time: each visit is limited to 3 visitors per offender, with the option to include up to 3 additional children age 5 and under.

Tip: Before you make the trip for an afternoon visit, double-check whether that weekend is a 1st/3rd (food visit) or a 2nd/4th (treatment offenders only) afternoon.

Food Visit Container Rules

  • ✓ Bring no more than 4 food containers total for an authorized incentive food visit
  • ✓ Use clear plastic containers only
  • ✓ Keep each container no larger than 9x9x4 inches

Container limits are strict because staff need to inspect everything coming into the visiting area. Keep it simple: pack food in clear plastic containers, and make sure each one stays within the 9x9x4 inch size limit. Count your containers before you leave home. Only four total are allowed per authorized food visit.

  1. Pick a visiting day. Farmington’s visiting days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
  2. Choose the right session time. Visits run in two blocks: 9:30am to 1:30pm, and 2:30pm to 6:30pm.
  3. Match the weekend afternoon to your goal. The 1st and 3rd Saturday/Sunday afternoon sessions are designated for food visits.
  4. Avoid 2nd and 4th weekend afternoons for food visits. Those afternoon sessions are reserved for treatment offenders only.
  5. Plan your headcount before you go. Each visit is limited to 3 visitors per offender, and you may include up to 3 additional visitors age 5 and under.
  • ✓ Pack food in clear plastic containers only
  • ✓ Keep each container at or under 9x9x4 inches
  • ✓ Bring no more than 4 total containers for the authorized food visit

Reminder: Food visits line up with the 1st and 3rd weekend afternoon sessions, and containers must be clear plastic, no larger than 9x9x4 inches (four containers total).
