How to Visit SD Women's Prison, SD (SD)

You must be an approved visitor before you can visit anyone at SD Women's Prison. The South Dakota DOC lets you apply online through its visitors form. Prefer paper? There's also a printable visitation application you can fill out and submit. Send completed paper applications to VisitList@state.sd.us or mail them directly to the facility. Keep in mind: this guide covers how to submit your application. You'll still need to confirm processing times, what ID to bring, and the current visiting schedule before making travel plans.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Submit the South Dakota DOC visitors form online to request visitation approval.
• ✓ If you cannot apply online, use the printable visitation application instead.
• ✓ Email the completed printable application to VisitList@state.sd.us, or mail it directly to the facility for processing.
• ✓ Wait for approval before planning your trip, then confirm the current visiting schedule with the facility.

Before you head out, confirm the details that can change. Check that VisitList@state.sd.us is still the right email for applications and that the facility's mailing address hasn't changed. A few other things worth asking: Does the online visitors form fully replace the paper application, or do some situations still require the printable version? How long are approvals taking right now? What are the visitor eligibility rules and ID requirements? Are there any restrictions that could affect your visit? And most importantly, confirm the current visiting days and hours so you don't show up when visits aren't running.
