Roxbury's Odd/Even Visiting Schedule Explained: When Can You Visit?

Roxbury Correctional Institution uses an odd/even system for weekend in-person visits. Match the last digit of the incarcerated individual's SID number to the calendar date, and you'll know right away whether Saturday or Sunday is your visiting day.

Roxbury's weekend visiting schedule hinges on one thing: the last digit of the incarcerated individual's SID number compared to the calendar date. Odd last digit? You visit on odd-numbered dates. Even last digit? Even-numbered dates. If the digit and date don't match, that day isn't your visiting day.

This odd/even matching only applies to weekends, since that's when Roxbury holds in-person visitation. Weekdays are reserved for virtual visits, so the SID check is really just a planning tool for Saturday and Sunday trips.

In-person visits at Roxbury Correctional Institution happen on Saturdays and Sundays. Start by looking at the weekend dates on your calendar, then apply the odd/even SID rule to pick the right day.

Virtual visits at Roxbury are weekdays only. If you're trying to connect during the week, plan on a virtual session rather than heading to the facility in person.

Protective Custody Window

  • ✓ Protective Custody visitation on Saturdays: 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
  • ✓ Protective Custody visitation on Sundays: 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
  • ✓ Duration: 1 hour maximum
  1. Find the last digit of the SID number - you only need the final number to use Roxbury’s weekend odd/even schedule.
  2. Decide if that last digit is odd or even - odd digits are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; even digits are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
  3. Check the calendar date for the Saturday or Sunday you want - the day of the month has to match (odd date for odd SID digit, even date for even SID digit).
  4. Use a quick example to confirm you have it right - if the SID ends in 3 (odd) and the weekend date is the 13th (odd), that is a match. If the SID ends in 4 (even), look for a weekend date like the 14th, 16th, 18th, and so on.

Before you drive out: Confirm you're planning for a Saturday or Sunday. Weekdays are virtual visits only, so showing up in person on a Tuesday won't work.
