How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before visiting Omaha Correctional Center, you need to be on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list—this applies to adults and minors alike. Once approved, submit your visitation request at least seven days ahead; you can schedule up to four weeks in advance. Visits are assigned first-come, first-served, and you'll get confirmation by email. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and expect screening, including searches and metal detection. Only permissible personal items are allowed inside, so leave extra belongings secured. Visiting with a minor? Bring documentation showing the relationship and follow the facility's requirements for child visitors.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
