Visitation at R.I. Travisono Intake Center (Travisono ISC) is controlled by the facility warden, who sets visiting days, times, visit length, weekly limits, and how many people can visit at once. Check the posted schedule before you go. Visiting rules and the RIDOC dress code are posted in English and Spanish in housing units and visiting waiting rooms. Most visitors need to be on the inmate's approved visitors list and complete BCI and NCIC background checks before they can visit. Bring an accepted government-issued photo ID every time. Attorney, clergy, and disciplinary visits follow separate authorization steps and may be scheduled differently than social visits.
Read full guidePhone calls and scheduled video visits are the main ways families and approved contacts stay connected with someone at the Travisono Intake Service Center. Video visits are typically run through a third-party vendor, and you'll schedule them through the vendor's app or web portal. Phone calls go through the facility phone system, are recorded (except attorney calls), and time limits often apply. RIDOC considers visits, whether in person or by video, a privilege that administration can approve, deny, suspend, or revoke. For legal matters, attorneys must follow RIDOC procedures for depositions. If you need to add funds for phone or video services, deposits are handled through approved vendors such as Access Corrections.
Read full guideSending money to someone at R.I. Travasino Intake Center is generally limited to people on the inmate's approved visitors list, though a 30-day grace period can let others deposit while the inmate updates their list. Sentenced inmates can list nine approved visitors who are allowed to both visit and deposit, plus two additional "money purposes only" names (those two can deposit but cannot visit). For in-person deposits, you'll need to show a photo ID like a driver's license, state ID, or passport. Online and phone deposits are available through Access Corrections/Access Secure Deposits. If you have account questions, the Inmate Accounts office can help.
