Visitation

Visiting at Pocatello Women's Correctional Center starts with approval. Every potential visitor must submit a visiting application and pass a background check. The online Visiting Application is the fastest way to apply, according to PWCC. Processing normally takes two to four weeks, and visiting room staff notify the resident when you're approved. If your loved one is still in the reception and diagnostic process, visits aren't allowed until they're cleared. PWCC enforces strict visiting-room rules: no outside food of any kind (including gum and candy), no pictures, and certain personal items are banned (including oils, can openers, sunglasses, and documents). Paper money isn't allowed in the visiting room either. For vending, bring coins in clear plastic bags or use a debit or credit card. Minors need their own application plus a certified birth certificate and approved legal documentation.
