New Lisbon Corrections Institution, WI

Visiting hours at New Lisbon Corrections Institution vary by weekday. Mondays are generally closed (with some exceptions), and weekend windows are shorter. People in custody can have one visit per day, up to three per week—but only one visit is allowed per weekend. Up to ten visitors can attend a single visit, though everyone must be on the approved visiting list. Timing is strict: don't arrive more than 15 minutes before your scheduled visit, and you won't be admitted during the last 30 minutes. Expect security screening and bring a valid photo ID if you're 16 or older (Amish visitors may be excepted). NLCI is tobacco-free, so leave tobacco products at home. Check the posted rules on prohibited items and dress code before you go.

All communication at New Lisbon Corrections Institution runs through third-party vendors, so set up the right account first. Phone calls, tablet messages, and video sessions are monitored and routed through vendor platforms—there's no direct person-to-person calling. If your loved one has an ICS tablet, send photos and messages through a Getting Out (GTL) account at www.gettingout.com. For ICS platforms, you'll need a Party ID to link your registration to a specific person in custody. Ask your loved one for this ID so you can register with ICSolutions. During the vendor rollout, ICSolutions recommended scheduling calls during off-peak hours (before 5:00 PM or after 9:00 PM) for better call quality. One more thing: TextBehind won't open identifiable medical or legal mail—that gets forwarded directly to the institution.

Personal mail for people at New Lisbon Corrections Institution may go through a third-party scanning service. Letters get scanned and delivered digitally, while originals are typically retained or destroyed per the vendor's policy. To make sure your mail arrives, include your full name and return address. Address it with the resident's full legal name, DOC/inmate number, and "New Lisbon Corrections Institution." Legal and medical mail follows separate procedures—third-party processors won't open it. Instead, identifiable legal and medical correspondence gets forwarded to the institution. One thing to note: money orders for PIOC aren't allowed in the visiting room, so confirm the proper way to send funds before your visit.

Plan ahead for money and paperwork rules when visiting New Lisbon Corrections Institution. You can bring up to $25 in currency into the visiting room. Tax papers or checks needing a signature? Leave them at the Sergeant's desk—don't bring them into the visiting area. Money orders for inmates aren't allowed in the visiting room either, so don't try to hand one over during a visit. To add funds to an inmate's account, Wisconsin facilities typically use third-party deposit systems. Options include online deposits, phone payments, lobby kiosks, walk-in locations, or mail. Have the inmate's full name and ID number ready. If you're mailing funds, follow the vendor's instructions and use a money order or cashier's check.
