Redgranite's Three-Visit Weekly Limit: What Counts and When It Resets

At Redgranite Correctional Institution, people in DOC custody can have up to three in-person visits per week. That weekly cap is the starting point for planning - once three visits have happened in the same visit week, any additional in-person visit requests in that same week won’t fit under the limit.

Redgranite’s visit week runs Monday through Sunday. That means your visit count “resets” when a new Monday starts, not seven days after your last visit. If you’re trying to fit in the full three visits, pay attention to where your visits land inside that Monday–Sunday window so you don’t accidentally stack too many into the same week.

• ✓ Treat Monday as the reset day: Monday starts a new visit week (Monday–Sunday).
• ✓ Count every in-person visit you complete during that Monday–Sunday window toward the three-visit weekly limit.
• ✓ If you want three visits, spread them out across the week so you’re not scrambling at the end of the Monday–Sunday cycle.
• ✓ When you’re close to the limit, double-check which side of Sunday/Monday your last visit fell on before you plan the next one.

There’s a second rule that trips people up: only one of the weekly visits can happen on the weekend. So even though the overall cap is three in-person visits per week, you can’t use Saturday and Sunday as two separate visits in the same week. If you’re aiming for the maximum, plan for one weekend visit and use weekday visits for the other one or two.

Redgranite lists a visiting time block for visits that can be up to 3 hours long: 2:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. If you’re trying to coordinate around work, school, or a long drive, this later block is often the one families look at first - just remember it still counts as one of the three in-person visits for the week.

Redgranite also lists a time block for visits that can be up to 2 hours long: 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. This earlier block can be easier for daytime schedules, and it can also help you space visits across the Monday–Sunday week when you’re trying to stay under the three-visit limit.

• ✓ If you’re planning multiple visits in the same Monday–Sunday week, pick your days first so you don’t run into the three-visit cap.
• ✓ Decide early whether your one weekend visit is the priority; then build the remaining weekday visits around it.
• ✓ Use the 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. block when a daytime visit helps you spread out your weekly visits.
• ✓ Use the 2:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. block when an afternoon/evening visit is the only realistic option - just keep track of how many in-person visits you’ve already used that week.

1. Start by choosing your weekend (or not) - Since only one visit can happen on the weekend, decide whether that weekend slot is the one you want most.
2. Map your week Monday–Sunday - Count out the visit week the way Redgranite does, and place up to three in-person visits inside that window.
3. Use weekdays to reach three - If you’re trying to max out visits, plan the second and third visits on weekdays, since you can’t do two weekend visits in the same week.
4. Recount before you go - Right before you finalize plans, check how many in-person visits already happened since Monday so you don’t show up after hitting the cap.
