Metropolitan Correctional Center

Visitation at MCC New York follows a calendar that shows which weekends are open to which visitor groups, typically organized by the inmate's DIN last digit or last name. The calendar also flags holidays and special dates. Some holiday weekends may allow all visitors regardless of the usual grouping. Many facilities require you to reserve a specific time window ahead of time, though the booking method varies (online-only, phone, or in-person signups). On visit day, expect check-in procedures including ID verification and screening like a metal detector or body scanner. Health screening may also be required. Arrive early so you have time to complete processing. Housing status, special units, and legal or professional visits can follow separate rules, so confirm details with the facility.

At Metropolitan Correctional Center (NY), communication typically falls into three options: telephone calls through a third-party phone vendor, remote video sessions through an approved video vendor, and (when available) in-facility tablets or messaging tied to a funded vendor account. Most facilities monitor and record phone calls, video sessions, and electronic messages. Rules often limit who can be called or join a remote visit. To receive calls or schedule video, you generally need to register online with the facility's approved vendor, create an account, and add funds or purchase minutes. Tablet services typically use the same kind of vendor account, with pricing and features depending on the vendor. For in-person check-ins and some sign-ups, you'll need a valid government-issued photo ID with a current address.
