How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Every visitor to Madison Correctional Institution must complete and submit a visitation application. Anyone 12 or older needs to fill out the form, and only one application per person is allowed. Don't travel until the inmate confirms your application has been approved—leaving blanks or providing false information can lead to denial, criminal charges, or permanent suspension of visitation privileges. All visitors and their belongings are searched before entry. Refuse a search, and you'll be turned away with restrictions on future visits. Visitors 16 and older need a valid photo ID. The dress code bans certain footwear and clothing items. You may bring up to $50 in $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills for vending (consumed in the visiting area), plus limited infant items, necessary prescription medication in original labeled containers, and one vehicle key.
