How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.

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.

Visits at Hutchinson allow limited physical contact. You can share a hug and a brief kiss at the start and end of your visit — but that's it. Hand-holding during the visit isn't permitted, so save the physical connection for those quick hellos and goodbyes.
Schedule your visit at least 72 hours before that week’s visitation begins. Use the online scheduler at www.icsolutions.com or contact the facility visitation clerk to book a slot and confirm you are approved.
A resident may have up to 20 approved visitors on their visiting list. No more than four visitors may attend a single visit at one time, and an immediate family member can be on more than one resident’s visiting list.
Adults must present government-issued photo ID. Children under 16 without photo ID may use a copy of a state birth certificate, and minor children can visit only if they are approved and accompanied by an approved parent or legal guardian.
If your loved one is at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, you have two main ways to stay in touch: tablet messages through ViaPath (GettingOut) and phone calls through ICS Corrections.
Hutchinson Correctional Facility has two separate systems for money, and mixing them up is one of the easiest mistakes to make. Tablet messages, photos, and 30-second video messages all run through a ViaPath (GettingOut) account. You'll need to create an account and fund it first. The minimum deposit is $10. Want to add money to a resident's internal trust account (the funds they use for commissary and other day-to-day needs inside)? That's a different system entirely. Electronic trust deposits go through Access Corrections, not ViaPath.
Here's the key thing: residents at Hutchinson Correctional Facility can place outgoing calls (collect or prepaid), but they can't receive incoming calls. Want them to reach your cell phone? You'll need to set up a prepaid account first.
