How to Visit River City Correctional Center, OH (OH)
River City Correctional Center has some specific rules that catch visitors off guard, especially around who qualifies for in-person visits and the approved visitor list. Here's what you need to know to avoid a wasted trip.
Only residents in the Reentry phase can have in-person visits. Before planning a trip, confirm your loved one is currently in that phase.
You can't just show up and get added at the door. The resident's Case Manager must approve everyone listed on the Visitation Form ahead of time. If you're not on the approved list, you'll be turned away.
Visits are limited to one per week, lasting 45 minutes. Each visit allows one adult visitor and up to three minor biological children. Anyone 18 or older counts as an adult.
Expect check-in rules to be enforced. Bring an official driver's license or state ID for verification. Follow the facility's visitor dress code, and know that no touching is permitted between adult visitors and residents. Break the rules, and your visit ends immediately. Repeat violations can cost you future visiting privileges.
Note: Video visits use a separate scheduling process. The visitor must schedule the visit in advance through their account at inmatesales.com.
- Confirm Reentry status - In-person visitation is available only for residents in the Reentry phase, so verify your loved one is currently eligible before you make plans.
- Get approved through the Case Manager - The resident’s Case Manager must approve the people listed on the resident’s Visitation Form. Have your loved one make sure your name (and any child visitors) are submitted and approved.
- Plan around the visit limits - Residents get one in-person visit per week, and it lasts 45 minutes. Each visit may include one adult visitor plus up to three minor biological children (anyone 18 or older counts as an adult).
- ✓ Bring an official driver’s license or state ID for verification at check-in.
- ✓ Follow the facility’s visitor dress code.
- ✓ Expect a no-touch rule between adult visitors and residents during the visit.
- Schedule the video visit from your account - Video visits must be scheduled by the visitor at inmatesales.com.
- Book within the allowed window - Schedule at least 24 hours in advance and no more than one week before the visit.
Verify before you go: Confirm the resident is still in the Reentry phase and that the Case Manager approval for the Visitation Form is current. Also re-check the weekly visit allowance and the video-visit scheduling rules (24 hours to one week in advance at inmatesales.com), since facility policies can change.
Before your visit, make sure you have the right ID (an official driver's license or state ID) and check the current dress code. Confirm your group fits the visitor rules: one adult plus up to three minor biological children, with anyone 18 or older counting as an adult. Keep the no-touch rule in mind so your visit doesn't get cut short.
