How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Planning an attorney visit at Northern State Prison? Attorneys must give written notice or call the incarcerated person's housing facility administrator at least 24 hours ahead. Your request needs to include the attorney or representative name, the incarcerated person's name, the attorney represented (if applicable), and your requested date and time. Contact visits can be restricted or denied for safety or security reasons—when that happens, staff should offer a non-contact visit instead. For attorney videoconferences, submit requests about 48 hours in advance (often by fax to the institution or coordinator). Report any confidentiality breach in writing, and follow the facility's scheduling and preregistration steps.
