How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Rockville Correctional Facility takes some setup, especially your first time. Before scheduling an initial visit, you must submit State Form 14387 so staff can screen you for criminal history, DOC employment, and your relationship to incarcerated individuals. After that, create a ViaPath account and wait for approval before scheduling in-person or online visits. Once approved, ViaPath shows available dates and times for the person you're visiting—all requests follow Eastern time. Only people on the offender's approved visitors list can visit, and the same visitor can only see a given offender once every 14 days. Attorney visits work differently and don't require being on the approved list.
