How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visitation at Foothills Corrections Inst is appointment-only—call or email the facility to schedule. Your visitor application must be submitted and approved before you can visit. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors (adults and minors) on their list, with open enrollment to make changes every six months from their admission date. If you're 16 or older, attach a copy of an approved photo ID to your application. Minors under 16 need a birth certificate instead. Expect screening before entry: a pat/frisk search and electronic device check. STG status affects visit type—Level 2 may allow contact visits with approved immediate family, while Level 3 is limited to non-contact. Confirm whether visits are in-person or video, since availability varies.
