How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Mountain View Correctional Facility holds visiting blocks on Saturdays and Sundays during afternoon and evening hours. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Only people on a resident's approved visiting list can visit. If you're not already approved, print, complete, and sign the Adult Facility Visitor Application (one name per application) and mail it to Attention: Visits, Mountain View Correctional Facility. Keep the limits in mind: each visitor gets one visit per weekend and two visits per month. Visits typically require prior approval, pre-scheduling, a government photo ID, and screening. Follow staff instructions when you arrive, and know that leaving the visit area can end your visit.
