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