How to Visit Lebanon Corrections Institution, OH (OH)

Lebanon Corrections Institution (LeCI) offers in-person visitation in two daily sessions: morning from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and afternoon from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. You can't just pick whichever day or session works best for you, though. Visits are assigned by housing unit. For example, Tuesday morning is designated for Housing Units 3A and 3B, while Tuesday afternoon covers Units 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 10A, and 10B.

Every adult visitor needs to apply before they can visit. You'll complete the Visiting Application (DRC-2096) and include a legible copy of your photo ID. You'll also need to sign the Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554) and the General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274). Take the questions seriously. Fill everything out fully and truthfully, because incomplete or falsified information will get your application denied. One more thing to keep in mind: the incarcerated person's visiting list can include up to 15 approved adult visitors total, and no more than two of those can be designated as friends.

1. Complete the required paperwork: Fill out the Visiting Application (DRC-2096), and sign the Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554) and the General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274).
2. Attach a clear copy of your photo ID: Your application needs a legible copy of your photo ID.
3. Answer every question fully and truthfully: Omissions or false answers can get the application disapproved.
4. Submit the application and wait for approval: Applications may be mailed, emailed, faxed, or dropped off in person, but you cannot visit until the institution has processed the application and you have been approved and notified.

1. Register on GTL VisitMe after you are approved: Scheduling happens through gtlvisitme.com once your visitor application is approved.
2. Pick the correct day and session for the housing unit: LeCI uses two in-person sessions (8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM), and your available options depend on the incarcerated person’s housing unit assignment.

• ✓ Confirm the incarcerated person has space on their visiting list (up to 15 approved adult visitors total, and no more than two designated as friends).

Before making any plans, confirm that you've actually been approved and notified. Submitting the paperwork isn't enough. Visitation is not permitted until the application has been fully processed and you receive notification of approval.

• ✓ Confirm the current in-person visiting session hours (morning 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, afternoon 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM).
• ✓ Confirm which day and session applies to your loved one’s housing unit (the schedule is assigned by housing unit).

• ✓ Confirm you are using the correct forms (DRC-2096 Visiting Application, DRC2554 Declaration of Understanding, DRC2274 General Visiting Instructions).
• ✓ Confirm you included a legible copy of your photo ID with the application.
• ✓ Double-check that every question is answered fully and truthfully, since omissions or falsification result in disapproval.

Once approved, make sure GTL VisitMe is still the system used for scheduling and that your account is set up correctly. It's also worth re-confirming visiting-list limits for your situation: the incarcerated person's list can hold up to 15 approved adult visitors, with no more than two friends.
