How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visits at Maine Correctional Center are by appointment only, and only people on the resident's approved visiting list can come in. To get approved, complete the Visitor Application and mail it to the MCC Visit Office at 17 Mallison Falls Road, Windham, Maine 04062 for a background check. Approved visitors receive information by email—make sure you include an active, correctly spelled email address. Denied applicants get a written notice by mail explaining the decision and next steps. Schedule visits at least two business days ahead; requests made after 4:00 pm count as the next business day. The voicemail line at (207) 893-7109 can answer questions but can't schedule visits. Arrive 15–30 minutes early with valid photo ID (minors need an ID or birth certificate). Follow the dress code, don't bring tobacco, and skip your visit if you have COVID-19 symptoms or tested positive in the prior 10 days. Once you leave the visit room, you won't be readmitted.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
