Scheduling Visits at Pulaski Prison: Weekend & Holiday Cutoff Times You Must Know

The biggest scheduling mistake at Pulaski Prison? Submitting your visit request after the cutoff. Miss the deadline and you won't get on the schedule - even if you're packed and ready to go. Here's what helps: the timing rules are straightforward. Weekend visits have a weekday cutoff, and state holidays have their own deadline based on the holiday date. Know those two deadlines and you'll avoid a wasted trip.

Note: Scheduled visit requests for Pulaski Prison must be submitted using the GDC visitation request form.

Planning a weekend visit? Submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday. That's your hard deadline for Saturday or Sunday visits. Wait until Thursday and you're already too late.

  • ✓ Gather the information you’ll need to complete the visit request.
  • ✓ Submit your request before 5:00 PM on Wednesday for that weekend.
  • ✓ Make sure your request is submitted/approved before you make travel plans.

State holiday visits work differently. You need to submit your request by 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday. Once you're inside that three-day window, you've likely missed your chance.

  • ✓ Write down the state holiday date you want to visit.
  • ✓ Count back three days from that date.
  • ✓ Submit the request by 5:00 PM on that cutoff day.
  • ✓ Confirm your request is submitted/approved before you travel.

All scheduled visits go through the GDC

Scheduling Visits at Pulaski Prison: Weekend & Holiday Cutoff Times You Must Know
  1. Start with the deadline you’re aiming for - For weekend visits, your request needs to be in by 5:00 PM Wednesday of the same week. For state holiday visits, it’s 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.
  2. Gather what you need before you open the form - Having your details ready helps you submit cleanly and on time through the GDC visitation request form.
  3. Set reminders you can’t ignore - Put a calendar alert for Wednesday afternoon (weekend visits) and another alert for the “three days before” date (holiday visits), both leading up to 5:00 PM.
  4. Submit early and confirm before you travel - Don’t wait until the last minute. Get the request submitted through the form, then make sure you’re good to go before you commit to the drive.

Tip: The 5:00 PM cutoff is a hard deadline. Late requests for weekend or holiday visits won't be processed in time.
