How your loved one’s security level affects visiting hours at North Fork (ODOC policy)
At North Fork, the facility sets the visiting schedule, but your loved one's security level controls how many visiting hours they're authorized each week. Here's how ODOC policy breaks it down, including what changes on state holidays.
Under ODOC policy, "visiting hours" actually involves two separate pieces. The facility sets the visiting schedule (which days and times visits happen). Your loved one's security level dictates how many total visiting hours they're authorized per week. This is why two people at the same facility can have different amounts of visiting time available. It's also why schedules aren't identical from one ODOC facility to another. ODOC policy allows visiting days to include weekends and state-recognized holidays, but each facility decides how those days are used for its population.
Tip: Before you make plans, confirm North Fork's current visiting days and times. The schedule varies by facility, even though the weekly hour limits are tied to security level.
Authorized Hours
- ✓ Maximum security: up to 4 hours per week (excluding holidays)
- ✓ Medium security: up to 6 hours per week (excluding holidays)
- ✓ Minimum security: up to 8 hours per week (excluding holidays)
- ✓ Community correction center: up to 10 hours per week (excluding holidays)
- ✓ Halfway house: up to 16 hours per week (excluding holidays)
These numbers are the authorized maximums under ODOC policy. Your loved one can't exceed the maximum for their custody level. North Fork's facility leadership sets the specific visiting days and times within those limits.
ODOC treats state-recognized holidays differently depending on what day they fall on. If a state-recognized holiday lands Monday through Friday, it counts as a "free" visiting day. The hours your loved one can visit on that day are based on their security level. Those holiday hours usually don't count toward the weekly total for their visiting privilege level. The exception: when the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday. In that case, the holiday hours do count toward the weekly total.
Heads up: A Monday-through-Friday state holiday can create an extra visiting day. The hours available that day still follow your loved one's security level.
