How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at John H. Lilley Correctional Center starts with approval. All visitors must submit a Visitor Application Form before they can visit, and adults may need to pass a background check. If you plan to use video visitation, schedule it at least 48 hours in advance. The same visitation rules that apply to in-person visits also apply to video visits. Be accurate and complete on every form. Providing false or missing information can get your visitation privileges denied and triggers a 90-day wait before you can reapply. Visit length depends on the inmate's security level and housing status. Maximum security Level 1 inmates, for example, are limited to one hour of non-contact visitation per week with approved visitors. A visit request is not confirmed until staff explicitly confirm it, and visits are commonly recorded or monitored.
