Visiting Someone in Reception at Lebanon Corrections: What’s Different

Visits work differently when someone is in reception at Lebanon's reception center (C.R.C.). The two biggest changes: no visits during the first eight days, and each approved visitor is limited to two visiting sessions per calendar month.

If your person is still in reception, expect a built-in delay. Reception incarcerated people cannot receive visits during their first eight (8) days at the reception center (C.R.C.).

Even after the eight-day waiting period, reception visits are limited. Each approved visitor may have two (2) visiting sessions per calendar month with a person in reception. This limit applies per visitor, so multiple approved people can each visit twice.

Reception also has a courtesy visit rule. Each reception incarcerated person is allowed one (1) courtesy visit for immediate family and one (1) courtesy visit for a support person. If you're coordinating who goes first, decide ahead of time whether that courtesy visit is best used by immediate family or by a designated support person.

Group size is capped during reception visits. No more than five (5) visitors, including walking children, may visit a reception incarcerated person at one time.
