Redgranite is tobacco-free: what that means for visitors

If you're visiting someone at Redgranite Correctional Institution (RGCI), plan on a tobacco-free trip. Tobacco products cannot be used anywhere on institution property.

• 2 min read Verified from official sources

Redgranite Correctional Institution (RGCI) is a tobacco-free facility. That means no tobacco products may be used on institution property, including while you’re coming and going for a visit.

You also can't possess tobacco products inside the facility. Attempting to bring tobacco into the institution can result in felony prosecution. Double-check your pockets, bags, and anything you plan to carry in before you arrive.

This policy isn't limited to in-person visits. RGCI's tobacco rules also apply during video visits, and using tobacco on camera counts as inappropriate behavior that can end the session. If the rules aren't followed, the facility can terminate the video visit on the spot. That situation can also lead to a conduct report for the person in custody and suspension or revocation of visiting privileges for either party (or both).

Warning: Vaping, smoking, or any other tobacco use during a video visit can get the session terminated immediately. It may also lead to discipline, including suspension or revocation of visiting privileges.

  • ✓ Leave tobacco products at home before you head to RGCI.

  • ✓ Do not attempt to bring tobacco products into the institution (doing so can lead to felony prosecution).

For video visits, treat the session like you're sitting in the visiting room. Vaping, smoking, or using any tobacco product during the call can end the visit immediately and lead to discipline.
