On-site contact visit schedule at Onondaga Correctional Facility (days, rounds, and sign-up)
Planning an on-site contact visit at Onondaga Correctional Facility? Here's what matters most: the visit days, the five daily rounds, and when you can sign up.
Contact visits happen on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only. Show up any other day expecting a contact visit and you'll be turned away. Plan around those three weekdays.
Each day has five visitation rounds running from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. That gives you several time windows to choose from - helpful if you're working around a job, school pickup, or other commitments.
Sign-ups begin at 9:00 AM in the Justice Center lobby. Want the best shot at your preferred round? Get there early.
You can sign up for a specific round up to 4 hours before it starts. Use that window to your advantage - you don't have to wait until the last minute to get on the list.
Don't cut it close. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled slot. That buffer gives you time to get through check-in without risking your visit.
Deadline reminder: Registration must be completed no later than 1 hour before the visitation round.
