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.

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.
