How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Greene Correctional offers both video visits through an official app and in-person visitation. All face-to-face visits require an appointment—call or email the prison to schedule. Before visiting in person, your visitor application must be approved by the facility. If you're 16 or older, attach an approved photo ID to your application. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors total, and visits are normally limited to one session per week (up to two hours) with a maximum of three visitors per session. Some custody statuses restrict visits to non-contact only. Expect screening: you'll pass through a metal detector and may be searched. Cell phones and other electronics are prohibited. Shirts and shoes are required, and Bermuda-length shorts are allowed if they're no more than three inches above the kneecap.
