Hutchinson Correctional Facility, KS

In-person visitation at Hutchinson Correctional Facility requires planning ahead. All visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours before visitation begins for that week, either through the online scheduler at www.icsolutions.com or by contacting the facility visitation clerk. Only approved visitors are admitted. The resident must submit a visitor request form, and prospective visitors must return a completed application for the required background or warrant check. Each resident can have up to 20 approved visitors on their list, and up to four visitors may attend a single visit. Bring government-issued photo ID. Children under 16 without photo ID may use a state birth certificate copy, and minors must be approved and accompanied by an approved parent or legal guardian. Physical contact is limited to a brief embrace or kiss at the start and end of the visit. Staff may deny or end visits for safety or sobriety concerns.

To message someone at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, you'll use ViaPath (GettingOut). Create an account and fund it with at least $10 before you can send electronic messages or photos. Costs are charged per item: $0.25 per message, $0.25 per photo, and $1.75 for a 30-second video attachment. Frequent contact can add up. If you're trying to add money to a resident's trust or commissary account, don't use ViaPath. Electronic trust deposits are handled through Access Corrections.
