How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Lake City Correctional Facility

At Lake City Correctional Facility, anyone 12 or older who wants to visit must complete the official visitation application (the DC6-111A Request for Visitation Privileges form). If you're visiting as a family, don't assume one adult's paperwork covers everyone - each eligible visitor needs their own completed form.

Submit only one application per visitor. Sending duplicates - because you're worried it didn't go through, you made a small change, or you tried both mail and email - slows things down and creates confusion. If you catch a mistake, focus on fixing it properly rather than flooding the facility with multiple versions.

This form is strict about blanks. Leaving any required line empty can trigger an outright denial, even if everything else is correct. When a question doesn't apply to you, write "NA" instead of leaving it blank - this shows you didn't skip it by accident.

• ✓ Inmate name is filled in
• ✓ Inmate DC# (Department of Corrections number) is filled in
• ✓ Every required line is completed (or marked “NA” if it does not apply)
• ✓ You signed where the form requires a signature

Don't make the trip to Lake City Correctional Facility until the inmate confirms your application has been approved. Showing up beforehand can mean getting turned away at the door - wasting a long drive, time off work, and travel costs. Wait for that confirmation before you plan your visit.

• ✓ Make a copy or take a clear photo of your completed application for your records
• ✓ Print neatly so every letter and number is easy to read
• ✓ Check that you signed everywhere a signature is required
• ✓ Double-check the inmate’s name and DC# before you submit
• ✓ Review the form one last time to confirm nothing is left blank (use “NA” when needed)

Most delays come from preventable errors: missing information, hard-to-read handwriting, or an incomplete signature. A careful final review before you submit can save weeks of back-and-forth.

1. Ask the inmate what happened - If you can, contact them and find out the reason given for the denial so you know exactly what to fix.
2. Correct the specific issue - Fill in anything that was left blank, replace blanks with “NA” where appropriate, and make sure the form is signed.
3. Submit one clean, corrected application - Send a single updated form after you’ve fixed the problem, rather than multiple versions.
4. Keep your records - Hold onto a copy of what you submitted so you can match it against any feedback if it’s denied again.
