How to Visit Facility

Visitation at Jenkins Correctional Facility happens on Saturdays and Sundays. Hours run in two blocks: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Here's the catch: your loved one's dorm assignment determines which time slot they can actually receive visitors. Two people in different dorms may have completely different allowed times, even on the same day. Regular visiting is also permitted on state-observed holidays, which helps if a holiday falls on a weekend you were already planning to travel.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Plan your visit for Saturday or Sunday.
• ✓ Aim for one of the two visiting blocks: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM or 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
• ✓ Confirm the correct time window for your loved one based on their dorm assignment.
• ✓ If your visit falls on a state-observed holiday, regular visiting is permitted (still verify the current details before you go).

1. Start with your existing scheduled visit - the “Add Visitor” option is meant for cases where you already have a visit on the calendar.
2. Use the department’s “Add Visitor” link - it will take you to a tool where you can locate your scheduled visitation.
3. Add the additional visitor(s) to that scheduled visit - follow the prompts to attach them to the visit you found.

Before you travel, confirm the schedule hasn't changed. Check that visiting hours are still 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, and verify how the dorm assignment affects the exact time your loved one can receive visitors. Planning around a state-observed holiday? Make sure regular visiting is still allowed for that period, since holiday operations can shift.

Need to add people to an already scheduled visit? Double-check the current process on the department's official visitation page. Look for the "Add Visitor" link and review any on-screen instructions for adding visitors to your specific scheduled visit.
