Visitation

Visiting at Old Colony Correctional Center starts with approval. The inmate kicks off the process by submitting and mailing a Visitor Application to the institution, and you must be on their pre-approved visiting list before you can visit. The facility caps the number of people on each list based on security level: 8 for Maximum and Medium, 10 for Minimum/Pre-release. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID every time (state driver's license, passport, military ID, or another official government photo ID). If someone has just been committed, they may have two temporary visitors and a reasonable number of children while approvals are processed. Those temporary allowances become inactive after 40 business days if not formally approved. Video visits are also available, though video visitors need approval too. Special medical needs like life-saving medications or devices require prior Superintendent approval with written medical proof. Visiting privileges can be suspended under 103 CMR 483.

Communication

Old Colony Correctional Center uses Securus for video visits. Before you can schedule a session, you need to complete the vendor's pre-approval process and be on the inmate's pre-approved visiting list. Once approved, you'll book video visits through the Securus platform, so set up your account before trying to reserve a time. Keep in mind that calls, video visits, and messages at correctional facilities are commonly provided by third-party vendors and may be monitored or screened. For deposits and account funding, families often use third-party services (such as Access Corrections or cash-enrollment services) or in-person drop-off options where available. Procedures vary by facility, so check the vendor and account steps early to avoid delays.

The fastest way to add funds to an Old Colony Correctional Center inmate account is through Access Corrections.

Keep timing in mind: money orders over $200 and all personal checks are placed on a seven-business-day hold. Federal or state government checks may be accepted case by case when documentation identifies the issuer, payee, source of funds, and the inmate. Some sites also allow in-person drop-off into an "Inmate Funds" box in the lobby. For cash-only drop-off locations, contact Cash Pay Today at 1-844-340-CASH (2274).
