How to Visit Facility

Start by contacting the facility where the offender is located. That facility handles both the background check approval and visit scheduling, so reach out there before making any travel plans.

1. Contact the facility where the offender is located. Tell staff you are trying to get approved for visitation.
2. Request background check approval. Follow the facility’s instructions so your information can be reviewed.
3. Schedule the visit with the facility. Once you are told you can be scheduled, set your visit time directly with the facility.

Before you submit any information or show up to visit, make sure you're contacting the correct facility. Background check approval and visit scheduling both happen at the facility where the offender is currently housed. If you call or fax the Bureau of Juvenile Services (304-558-2036, 304-558-6032), confirm those are still the right channels for visitor requests. Ask who to contact at the specific facility for next steps.
