How to Visit Hutchinson Correctional Facility (KS)
Visiting Hutchinson Correctional Facility takes some planning. You'll need approval ahead of time and a scheduled slot before you can walk through the door. Here's how to set yourself up for a smooth in-person visit.
Hutchinson Correctional Facility doesn't allow walk-in visits. You need to schedule at least 72 hours before visitation begins for that week. Last-minute plans won't work here.
You also need to be approved before you can visit. Only visitors on the resident's pre-approved KDOC visitation list who have scheduled an appointment (through the online scheduler or by contacting the facility visitation clerk) will be admitted.
Plan around the facility's slot limits. Each resident can have up to four visitors, and the facility offers two visitation slots per day: one morning, one afternoon. You can sign up for one or both slots on a given day if you want an all-day visit. However, you can't book multiple days in the same weekend.
- Start planning early: Schedule at least 72 hours before visitation begins at the facility for that week.
- Schedule the appointment: Use the online visitation scheduler, or contact the facility visitation clerk to set your time.
- Check for open slots before you travel: If the scheduler shows all slots are filled, do not make the trip. You will not be allowed to visit.
- ✓ Confirm you are on the resident’s KDOC pre-approved visitation list (approval is required before entry).
- ✓ Keep your group within the limit of four visitors per resident.
Note: Missed visits could result in suspended visitation privileges. You can book one or two slots in a single day, but you cannot book multiple days in the same weekend.
Before you travel, double-check two things: that you met the 72-hour scheduling requirement for that week, and that your slot still shows as available. If all slots are filled, you won't be allowed to visit. A quick check can save you a wasted trip.
Confirm your approval is active and that you're on the resident's pre-approved KDOC visitation list. You'll also need a scheduled appointment, either through the online scheduler or the facility visitation clerk. Only approved visitors with confirmed appointments are admitted.
A few rules are worth confirming close to your visit date: the four-visitor limit per resident, the two-slot daily structure (morning and afternoon), and how booking works if you want one slot versus two in the same day. If you're worried about running late or missing your visit entirely, ask how strictly missed visits are handled. A no-show could lead to suspended visitation privileges.
