How to Fill Out the DC6-111A Visitation Application for Madison Correctional Institution (so it won't be denied)

Do not travel to Madison Correctional Institution until the inmate confirms your application is approved. This instruction is printed directly on the DC6-111A. Show up before approval and you risk getting turned away at the door, wasting both time and money.

Anyone 12 or older who wants to visit must complete the DC6-111A. This applies even if you're family and even if you've visited other facilities before. The requirement starts at age 12.

Submit one DC6-111A per person. Sending multiple forms for the same visitor won't speed things up. It creates confusion and can actually slow processing while staff sort out which application is valid.

Fill Every Field

• ✓ Inmate name (write it exactly as listed by the Department of Corrections)
• ✓ Inmate’s Department of Correction number (DC#)
• ✓ Every question in the visitor information section (do not skip lines just because you think they are obvious)
• ✓ Any “circle one” style questions on the form (make a selection, do not leave it unmarked)
• ✓ Any item that truly does not apply to you: write “NA” (not applicable) instead of leaving it blank
• ✓ The certification area at the end (do not leave the signature/date/printed name lines empty)

Your signature certifies that everything on the form is complete, accurate, and true. This matters: the form states that providing false information is a second-degree misdemeanor and can result in permanent suspension of your visitation privileges. Double-check your answers before signing.

1. Fill out the entire DC6-111A - Complete every line and mark every choice. If something does not apply, write “NA” instead of leaving it blank.
2. Submit it the way the form tells you to - The DC6-111A instructs you to submit the completed form by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution where you are requesting to visit.
3. Wait for the inmate to tell you you’re approved - Do not go to Madison Correctional Institution expecting to visit until the inmate notifies you that your application is approved.

If your application is denied, check for the most common fixable issues: blanks and duplicates. The DC6-111A warns that leaving blanks can trigger a denial, so go through the form and make sure every item has an answer or "NA." Also confirm you only submitted one form for yourself, since only one DC6-111A per person is allowed.

1. Scan the form for blanks - Put an answer on every line. Use “NA” anywhere a question does not apply.
2. Confirm you did not submit duplicates - If you sent more than one application for yourself, stop and stick to a single, clean corrected form going forward.
3. Correct, then re-submit through the instructed channel - After you fix the missing items, submit the completed form again the way the DC6-111A directs (e-mail or U.S. Mail).
