How to Visit Facility
Visiting someone at Roxbury C.I. is doable, but a few facility rules can stop a visit fast if you miss them. Use this guide to plan around the weekend odd/even SID rule, entrance screening, and limits on what you can bring inside.
Weekend visits follow an odd/even rule tied to the incarcerated person's SID number. Look at the last digit of the SID: it has to match the calendar date of your visit. Odd last digit? Visit on odd-numbered dates. Even last digit? Even-numbered dates. So if the SID ends in 7, you'd visit on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and so on, not the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.
Visiting someone in Protective Custody? The weekend window is Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. That's a maximum of one hour, so be ready to check in and start right on time.
Warning: Visitors are not permitted to bring any items into the visiting room, except life-saving medications. State law also prohibits possessing or delivering contraband in a place of confinement, and violations can lead to arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment or fines.
All visitors must clear a metal detector at the entrance. If you can't clear it, the facility may deny your visit. Give yourself extra time for screening and follow staff instructions.
If you need to bring a life-saving medication, tell the Front Lobby Officer before your visit begins. Don't wait until you're already at the visiting room door to mention it.
