How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Rules, schedules, and procedures vary, so check the facility's visitor materials or inmate handbook for current requirements. In most cases, the inmate must add you to their approved visitor list before you can be cleared—confirm you've been added before applying. Many facilities require a visitor application (often for anyone age 12+) that needs to be completed, signed, and submitted exactly as instructed. Common submission methods include email or U.S. Mail, and leaving blanks can slow down approval. Don't make the trip until you receive written or electronic confirmation. Video visitation is sometimes available and typically requires advance scheduling.
