How to Visit Grafton Correctional Center (OH)

Grafton Correctional Center runs two visiting sessions: mornings from 8:00 a.m. to noon, and afternoons from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Hours can change without notice, so call ahead before you make the trip. Your visit depends on getting checked in on time. Arrive too late and you'll miss the cutoff for that day. First time visiting? Keep it simple: reserve your visit, confirm the current hours, then plan to arrive early enough to clear check-in before the deadline.

For morning visits, you must be checked in by 9:45 a.m. For afternoon visits, the cutoff is 2:30 p.m. These are check-in deadlines, not session start times. Plan your travel so you're through the front desk well before the cutoff.
