How Many Visits Can You Have at GBCI? Visit Hours, Limits, and Visitor Counts
Planning a visit at Green Bay Correctional Institution (GBCI) is much easier once you know the hours, weekly limits, and how many people can join you. Here are the key rules families usually need first.
For visitors with Unrestricted status, in-person visiting room hours at GBCI are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2:15 pm to 5:45 pm.
Each Person In Our Care at GBCI can receive up to six in-person visits per week, with a daily cap of two in-person visits per day.
Video visits have a separate limit. GBCI's visiting information allows up to two video visits per day.
Note: GBCI's visiting information states that video visit details (including length and costs) are subject to change and may differ from DOC-wide ICS FAQ information. Before you plan around video visits, verify the current rules in the scheduling system you use.
If your loved one has Unrestricted status, GBCI allows up to 8 visitors per visit. That total includes children, so count everyone in your group.
For all other visit statuses (anything besides Unrestricted), the limit drops to 2 visitors total, children included. Show up with more than two and you may need to rotate visitors or reschedule.
Each in-person visit at GBCI lasts up to 90 minutes.
GBCI's visiting information lists video visits at 50 minutes per session.
Note: Video visit timing can be confusing. GBCI lists 50-minute sessions, but the same materials note that video details are subject to change and may differ from DOC-wide guidance. Use the posted length as a planning starting point, then confirm the actual time shown when you book.
Practical Planning Tips
- ✓ Bring photo ID if you are age 16 or older.
- ✓ Arrive no more than 15 minutes before the start of visiting hours.
- ✓ Be ready to complete a DOC-176 Request to Visit Offender in the lobby if staff require it.
Before you make the trip, confirm two things: visit limits and visit setup. GBCI allows up to six in-person visits per week (no more than two per day) and up to two video visits per day, though video visit details are described as subject to change. It also helps to check your loved one's current visit status. That status controls whether you can bring up to 8 visitors (Unrestricted) or only 2 (all other statuses, children included).
