How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting Northern State Prison takes some planning, especially for legal visits. Attorneys must send written notification or call the incarcerated person's housing facility administrator at least 24 hours before the visit. Your request needs to include the attorney (or representative) name, the incarcerated person's name, who the attorney represents (if applicable), and your requested date and time. Contact attorney visits can be restricted or denied for security reasons, but staff should offer a non-contact option when contact is denied. For video or teleconference attorney visits, requests are typically submitted in advance, with a 48-hour fax timeframe noted. Non-attorney visits generally require approval and scheduling ahead of time, and visits are often monitored or recorded.
