How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Your first visit goes smoother when you walk in with only what New Lisbon allows. Think of this as a quick packing guide—so you're not stuck returning things to your car or hunting for a locker at the last minute.
New Lisbon Correctional Institution (NLCI) offers visiting Tuesday through Sunday, with different hours depending on the day. Tuesday through Friday, visits run from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and last up to 3 hours. On weekends, hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a 2-hour limit. Planning around work or childcare? Think of weekdays as late afternoon and evening slots, weekends as morning through mid-afternoon. Keep the visit-length cap in mind too—showing up late eats into your time, and arriving too close to the end of visiting hours can get you turned away entirely.
Visiting hours vary by weekday, and Mondays are generally closed except for specified exceptions—check the facility schedule for the exact windows. Weekend visit windows are shorter, and only one visit may be scheduled per weekend.
