How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting someone at Parkersburg Corrections Center requires advance approval. Contact the facility to request a background check and schedule your visit—you can't just show up. You'll complete a visitor questionnaire and release form authorizing the background check, and you must certify your answers are true. The form asks whether you're currently under indictment, whether you've ever been convicted of a felony, and whether you're on probation or parole (including your officer's contact details). Want to bring a child under 18? You'll need to prove you're the parent or legal guardian, and you must already be on the offender's approved visiting list before the child can be added. Even with clearance, the superintendent can deny visits for operational reasons. One more thing: if you already completed the same juvenile form at another juvenile facility for the same offender, don't resubmit it unless more than a year has passed.
