Green River Correctional Complex offers in-person visitation on Saturdays only, with specific visiting hours and a published arrival cutoff time. Before you go, make sure you're on the inmate's approved visiting list and that a completed visiting information form has been forwarded to the Warden's office. Without both, you won't be allowed in. Each inmate may receive only one visit per visitation day. If the visiting area reaches capacity, the Shift Supervisor can shorten visits on a first-in, first-out basis to accommodate waiting visitors. Follow the dress code closely. Noncompliant clothing can mean denied entry, and head coverings aren't allowed except for religious purposes (which may be searched). Brief physical contact is limited to the beginning and end of the visit. Children under 18 must be approved and properly accompanied, and visitors cannot wait in vehicles while others visit.
Read full guideGreen River Correctional Complex offers video visits through Securus every day, with each session lasting up to 25 minutes. All video visits must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance using Securus's scheduling system. Attorneys who want to schedule a video visit need a Securus Online account and must upload a self image, a driver's license photo, and a bar license photo before the visit is approved. Attorney-scheduled video visits cost $5 for up to 25 minutes and are not monitored. To avoid delays, set up and verify your Securus account well ahead of time. Double-check that the incarcerated person's identifying information matches what you enter when booking.
Read full guidePlanning to buy snacks during a visit at Green River Correctional Complex? The vending machines are for visitors only. Inmates cannot use them or handle money, so you'll need to purchase the items, open them, remove the wrapping, and place the food on a paper plate for sharing. For commissary or phone funds, facilities commonly use approved third-party vendor portals, phone deposit lines, lobby kiosks, or mailed money orders. The exact methods accepted vary by location. Vendor sites typically require you to pick the correct state and facility, then choose what you're funding (commissary, phone time, or care packages) before you pay. Some paid services also require a vendor account and charge fees. Check the official Green River Correctional Complex page for exact deposit steps, money-order address, and posting times.
