Visitation at Old Colony Corr. Center, MA

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

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.
