SBWCC Unit 1

Before you can visit at SBWCC Unit 1, you'll need to complete a visiting application and pass a background check. Submit your application to the institution where the resident is housed. Plan ahead: the process normally takes two to four weeks. Visits take place in Unit 1, though schedules and formats can change during emergencies, so confirm details before you travel. Expect screening at check-in. Staff may search you and your personal items to prevent contraband under Idaho law. If you're on probation or parole, or you're on a resident's no-contact list, get approval from your supervising officer before attempting to visit.

SBWCC Unit 1 uses electronic deposits through third-party providers like Access Corrections. You can deposit via mobile app, website, or the bilingual phone line at 866-345-1884. Depending on the vendor, phone deposits, kiosks, or retail cash barcodes may also work. Funds typically go toward commissary, phone accounts, and other resident obligations. Follow the provider's steps carefully and enter the correct resident information (including the resident ID) so it posts to the right account. Planning to visit? Paper cash isn't allowed in visiting rooms. Bring coins in a clear plastic bag or use a debit or credit card for vending. ViaPath tablet account setup details are available through the facility's ViaPath links.
