How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Hyde Correctional Institution only allows visits by appointment—call or email the prison to schedule. Before visiting, you'll need to submit a completed visitor application and get approved by facility staff. The incarcerated person provides blank application forms to prospective visitors. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors, and that list can only be changed during an open enrollment period every six months from their admission date. Visits are typically limited to one session per week, up to two hours, with a maximum of three approved visitors per session. Everyone passes through a metal detector. Visitors 16 and older may be pat-searched and have electronic devices checked. Cell phones aren't allowed. Wear shirts and shoes, and keep Bermuda-length shorts within three inches above the kneecap.
