How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Start by submitting a single visitor application, then wait for approval. Applications are processed in the order received and can take up to 45 business days. Don't submit duplicates. A second application voids the first and restarts the timeline. You must be approved and added to the incarcerated person's Approved Visitor List, and you can only be on one person's list (which stays active even after transfers). In-person visits are first come, first served. The visit room can fill up, so there's a real chance you could be turned away. Everyone entering for a visit is subject to search under DOC safety policy. Minors need a notarized DOC 20-441 consent form attached to their online application and must be accompanied the entire time. EFV and LTAP have separate applications and requirements.
