How Marcy's Weekend Visit Rotation Works (using the DIN last digit)

At Marcy Correctional Facility, weekend visits follow a rotating schedule based on the last digit of your loved one's DIN. One weekend they might be eligible; the next, they won't be. Understanding this rotation is key to planning a visit that actually happens.

The DIN (Department Identification Number) ends in a single digit, and Marcy uses that digit to control weekend visiting traffic. Each weekend is assigned to a specific segment of DIN last digits - and the allowed segment changes the following weekend. The bottom line: don't assume any Saturday or Sunday will work. Match the weekend you're planning to travel with the DIN last-digit group that's permitted that weekend.

The schedule flips back and forth: one set of DIN last-digit segments is allowed one weekend, then a different set the next. This pattern continues throughout the year. Since exact segment assignments can vary by date, don't guess based on the prior weekend. Check the facility's published visitation schedule for the specific weekend you're targeting.

1. Open Marcy’s 2026 visitation schedule PDF - this is the calendar the facility uses for the year.
2. Go to the month you want to visit - find the Saturday/Sunday you’re targeting.
3. Locate the DIN last-digit segment shown for that weekend - the schedule indicates which last-digit group is eligible on that date.
4. Double-check the next weekend if you’re flexible - segments alternate, so the following weekend may switch to a different eligible group.

Focus your schedule check on weekend dates first. If your weekend doesn't match your loved one's DIN last-digit segment, pick the next eligible weekend instead - you'll save yourself a frustrating trip.

Holidays are marked with an asterisk on Marcy's visitation schedule. If the weekend you're eyeing falls on or near a holiday, treat that as a "pause and verify" moment. Look closely at the calendar notes for that date before making firm plans.

Before You Travel Checklist

• ✓ Confirm your loved one’s DIN last digit, then match it to the eligible group shown for your target weekend on the 2026 schedule PDF.
• ✓ Check the same weekend for an asterisk so you know whether it’s marked as a holiday on the schedule.

Visiting hours run 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, with 2:30 PM as the latest arrival time. Plan your group size too - Marcy allows up to three visitors per visit, plus one child under five who must sit on an adult's lap. If your loved one is in the Special Housing Unit (SHU), the rule is tighter: one non-legal visit within a seven-day period during regular visitation days and hours. Timing matters even more when you're choosing your weekend.
