Visitation

River City Correctional Center permits one in-person visit per resident each week, lasting 45 minutes. Eligibility can be confusing: facility sources conflict on whether residents must be in the Reentry phase or the Transition phase, so confirm the resident's eligibility before planning your trip. Everyone on the Visitation Form must be approved by the resident's Case Manager. Bring an official driver's license or state-issued photo ID. The rules are strict: no touching between adult visitors, no passing items, and no food or beverages in the visitation area. Showing up under the influence or with contraband is prohibited and can lead to criminal charges. Residents must stay seated in uniform with the kiosk view unobstructed. Saturday in-person visit windows are currently 1:00pm to 1:45pm and 2:00pm to 2:45pm. Approved visitors typically register and schedule through the visitation portal.
