State-holiday visit requests must be in by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in. Note that some ID options on the request form are limited to people 18 or older. The Warden can refuse, deny, or revoke visitation for suspected contraband, deception on forms, or special security concerns.
