Lebanon Corrections Institution, OH

Visiting at Lebanon Corrections Institution starts with approval. Submit the DRC2096 visitor application along with the Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554) and General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274), plus a legible copy of your photo ID. You can mail, email, fax, or drop off your application, but you cannot visit until you're approved. Bringing children? Each child needs a Minor Visitor Application (DRC2238) signed by the custodial parent or legal guardian, along with supporting identity and custody documents. A birth certificate listing the incarcerated person (or other proof of paternity) is required before a child's first visit. In-person visiting hours are 8:00 to 11:00 AM and 12:00 to 3:00 PM, following a housing or unit-specific schedule. Expect to be searched on arrival. Electronic devices, purses, and backpacks are all prohibited.

At Lebanon Corrections Institution, only approved visitors may deposit funds to an incarcerated person's account, and deposits must go through the approved ODRC process. Don't try to hand-deliver money, packages, correspondence, or printed materials during a visit. Those items must go through the facility's mail and processing procedures. Approved minor visitors also cannot deposit money or conduct video visits unless a parent or legal guardian is present. Before sending money, double-check the facility's approved deposit channels and any account requirements. Most systems require the incarcerated person's full name and ID number, and may use online portals, phone lines, or lobby kiosks. Convenience and processing fees commonly apply, and how funds are applied (commissary, phone, fees) can vary.
