How to Fill Out the DC6-111A Visitation Application for Gadsden Correctional Without Getting Denied
The DC6-111A is straightforward, but people get denied for preventable reasons: blank fields, duplicate submissions, or a missing signature. This guide will help you fill it out cleanly the first time and avoid delays.
Anyone 12 years old or older who wants to visit someone at Gadsden Correctional must complete the DC6-111A visitation application. Filling one out for a teen? Treat it like an adult application. Complete every field carefully, because the same denial triggers apply regardless of age.
Only one application form may be submitted per person. Don't send a "second copy just in case," and don't submit an updated version unless you've been told to reapply. Duplicates slow things down and create confusion about which form is the correct one.
The fastest way to get denied is to leave blanks. The form spells it out: any blank field can result in a denial. If a question truly doesn't apply to you, write "NA" (not applicable) instead of skipping it. That way staff can see you didn't overlook the field. You answered it.
Note: Sign the DC6-111A in the space provided. If it isn’t signed, it will not be processed.
- ✓ Inmate name is filled in (no blanks)
- ✓ Inmate DC# is filled in (no blanks)
- ✓ Your relationship to the inmate is filled in (no blanks)
- ✓ Every required question is answered, or marked “NA” if it does not apply
- ✓ Your signature is in the signature space (unsigned forms are not processed)
Don't go to Gadsden Correctional until the inmate notifies you that your visitation application is approved. Show up before that, and you'll be turned away at the door, even if you mailed the form weeks ago. Build that waiting time into your plans so you're not making a trip for a visit that can't happen yet.
- Make a clean copy of what you send: Take a photo or keep a photocopy for your records.
- Wait for approval notice through the inmate: The form instructs you not to visit until the inmate notifies you your application is approved.
- Do not plan a trip until you get that approval: Avoid being turned away by waiting to travel until the inmate confirms you are on the approved list.
The DC6-111A instructs you to submit the completed form to the institution where you're requesting to visit, either by e-mail or by U.S. Mail. Use the contact details printed on the form, and keep a copy of what you submitted. You'll want it handy if any follow-up questions come up later.
Tip: Keep a copy of your completed application and any sending confirmation. If you need to recheck your answers while waiting, you'll be glad you have it.
