Visiting Schedule at Lunenburg: Contact (weekend) vs. Non‑Contact (Wednesday) Visits Explained

Non-contact visits at Lunenburg typically happen on Wednesdays. Contact (face-to-face) visits are usually Saturdays and Sundays. Schedules can shift with operational changes, so treat this as your starting point - then confirm before you travel.

Bringing a child? Contact visits have stricter rules for minors. Under DOC policy, children can only have contact visits if they're the incarcerated person's immediate family. If the child doesn't qualify as immediate family, plan for a non-contact visit instead.

To schedule an in-person visit, you'll use the online Visitation Scheduler (the GTL portal). Once you're approved as a visitor, log in and pick from available dates and times. Your visit isn't confirmed until you book it in the system.

The scheduling window is limited - visits can only be booked up to 14 days in advance. You're also limited to one scheduled visit per weekend, so coordinate with other family members before anyone grabs a slot.

S4

• ✓ Arrive one hour before your scheduled in-person visit so you have enough time for security screening.
• ✓ Bring at least one valid government-issued photo ID that matches the information on your visitation application.
• ✓ Dress to the facility’s standards: clothing must cover from the neck to the kneecaps, you must wear appropriate underwear, and footwear is required. Avoid revealing, form-fitting, or offensive clothing.
• ✓ Leave food and drinks behind - none are allowed inside, and you won’t have access to vending machines during visits.

Before you hit the road, verify the current schedule with the facility. The typical pattern is Wednesday for non-contact visits and Saturday/Sunday for contact visits - but details can change. Better to confirm than drive all that way and get turned away.
