Visits can be scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Those are your only days and times, so plan around them.

You'll need to call at least one day before the visit you want. To schedule, call either visitation line: 304-267-0045 or 304-267-0048.

Each visit lasts 30 minutes, and inmates are allowed one visit per week. If multiple family members want to visit, plan ahead so everyone gets a turn.

Group size is limited. You can bring either one adult and two children, or two adults. Sort out who's coming before you call to schedule so nobody gets turned away at the door.

Bring an acceptable photo ID: a driver's license, a non-driving ID card, a U.S. passport (book or card), or a U.S. military ID. The dress code is strict. Only one layer of clothing is allowed. No dresses, skirts, or shorts shorter than fingertip length. No tight-fitting or revealing clothing (that includes low-cut, see-through, or mesh material). No tank tops, no hoodies. Skip the hats and sunglasses, too. Footwear must be closed-toe, so leave the flip flops, slides, and sandals at home.
