How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Lansing Correctional Facility takes planning. All in-person visits must be scheduled at least 72 hours before the visitation week, and scheduling closes 72 hours before visitation begins. You'll need to be an approved visitor and get on the schedule through the online system at www.icsolutions.com or by contacting the facility Visitation Clerk. Each day has two visitation slots—morning and afternoon—and you can sign up for one or both to allow an all-day visit. If the scheduler shows every slot filled, don't travel; you won't be admitted. You can't sign up for multiple days on one weekend. Cancellations must be recorded in the online scheduler—missed visits could lead to suspension. Late arrivals may be allowed for the remaining time. Each resident may have up to four visitors, and a brief hug or embrace is allowed.

Scheduling your first in-person visit at Lansing is straightforward once you know the two big rules: you must be pre-approved, and you must have an appointment through the ICSolutions scheduler (or one set up by the visitation clerk). Here's how to do it without getting turned away at the door.
Your first in-person visit goes much smoother when you handle scheduling early. Lansing Correctional Facility only admits approved visitors with a scheduled appointment—so book through the ICSolutions scheduler (or call the Visitation Clerk if you can't use the website) and confirm you have a slot before you drive.
You must schedule an in-person visit at least 72 hours before the visitation week. Scheduling also closes 72 hours before visits begin for that week.
Don’t travel to the facility. If the online scheduler shows all slots filled, you will not be allowed to visit.
Each resident may have up to four visitors. Appropriate physical contact, such as a hug or brief embrace, is allowed.
Messaging someone at Lansing Correctional Facility goes through ViaPath's GettingOut system. Set up an account, add funds, and you can send electronic messages, photos, and 30-second video messages to their tablet.
Phone access at Lansing Correctional Facility works one way: your loved one can place collect or prepaid calls out, but you can't call them directly. Once you understand how approved numbers and prepaid accounts work, staying connected gets a lot simpler—and troubleshooting problems becomes much easier.
Sending money to someone at Lansing? Here's what you need to know: there are two separate accounts, and they don't work the same way.
