How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Grants (NENMCF) starts with NMCD's standard approval process. Submit the NMCD Visitor Application (CD-100201.1) and sign the Visitor Statement of Understanding before you're allowed to visit. You'll need to renew your application every two years—the CD-100201 form also covers visitor registration and search circumstances. In-person visits run Monday–Friday and must be scheduled at least one week in advance. Barrier visits are non-contact unless you're immediate family with proof of kinship. Refuse a required strip search, and your visit gets canceled or suspended. Convicted felons cannot visit, and current or former NMCD employees and contractors need Warden approval unless they're an approved spouse or immediate family member. The facility provides inmates with written visiting procedures and enforces a dress code.
