How to Visit Fox Lake Correctional Inst., WI (WI)
Visiting at Fox Lake Correctional Inst., WI takes some planning, especially if your loved one is on RHU/non-contact status or you're using video visits. Here are the rules that most often determine whether you get in and whether your visit goes smoothly.
For RHU (Restricted Housing Unit) or non-contact visits, the posted hours are Monday through Friday from 2:30pm to 5:00pm, and Saturday through Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. Build your travel time around those windows. You don't want to show up right at closing and get turned away.
Fox Lake caps each visit at six approved visitors, and that total includes adults, minors, and infants. At least one person in the group must be an adult. The person in custody can have up to three in-person visits per week, but only one of those can fall on a weekend. That means weekend slots fill up fast.
In-person visits are not walk-in. You need to schedule at least 48 hours ahead of time, and you can't book more than 14 days out.
Warning: ICSolutions video visits can be ended immediately for suspected illegal activity or behavior that wouldn't be allowed in a visiting room. This includes nudity or sexual activity, drug or alcohol use (including tobacco and ENDS), showing weapons, inappropriate language or locations, operating a vehicle (even as a passenger), or adding people after the visit starts.
Leave your outerwear outside the visiting area. Coats, jackets, gloves, scarves, mittens, and hats (including ball caps) aren't allowed in. Hang them on the coat racks in the visiting room lobby before you check in.
- Pick a date and schedule it within the allowed window. Schedule your in-person visit no sooner than 14 days out, and no later than 48 hours before the visit.
- Choose a slot that fits the weekly limits. The person in custody can have up to three in-person visits per week, and only one of those in-person visits can be on a weekend.
- ✓ Keep your group to six approved visitors total (adults, minors, and infants all count), and make sure at least one visitor is an adult.
- ✓ Before check-in, hang up coats, jackets, gloves, scarves, mittens, and hats (including ball caps) on the coat racks in the visiting room lobby. Do not bring them into the visiting area.
- ✓ Do not show nudity, sexual activity, or sexual items (including sexual literature or devices).
- ✓ Do not use drugs or alcohol during the visit, including tobacco products and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS).
- ✓ Do not show weapons or items that can be viewed as a threat (firearms, knives, etc.).
- ✓ Do not use inappropriate language.
- ✓ Do not take the call from an inappropriate location (for example, a bar or nightclub).
- ✓ Do not operate a vehicle during the visit, even if you are only a passenger.
- ✓ Do not add other people after the video visit has started.
For an RHU/non-contact visit, plan around the posted schedule: Monday through Friday 2:30pm to 5:00pm, Saturday through Sunday 10:00am to 5:00pm.
Before you travel, confirm the current RHU/non-contact visitation hours (Monday through Friday 2:30pm to 5:00pm, weekends 10:00am to 5:00pm) and which visit type you're scheduled for. I'd also recommend double-checking that the scheduling window is still at least 48 hours in advance and no more than 14 days in advance, since schedules can be updated.
Check your group size and approval status before the day of the visit. The facility limit is six approved visitors per visit (including minors and infants), with at least one adult required. The person in custody can have up to three in-person visits per week, with only one scheduled on a weekend. If you're planning around a holiday weekend or a family situation that affects who can attend, getting clarity early can save you a wasted trip.
Note: If you're doing an ICSolutions video visit, confirm the current termination rules ahead of time. Prohibited behavior includes nudity/sexual content, any drug or alcohol use (including tobacco and ENDS), weapons, inappropriate language or locations, being in a vehicle, or adding someone mid-call.
What you wear and bring can make or break your check-in. Coats, jackets, gloves, scarves, mittens, and hats (including ball caps) must be left out of the visiting area and hung on the coat racks in the visiting room lobby before check-in. If you're unsure how strict the lobby process will be for your specific visit type that day, call ahead to confirm.
