How Sing Sing's Odd/Even Visiting Schedule Works (2026)
Sing Sing doesn't allow visits every weekend for everyone. Your visiting weekend depends on the last digit of the incarcerated person's DIN—the facility alternates between odd and even groups.
The system is straightforward: if the DIN ends in an odd digit (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), visits happen on "odd" weekends. If it ends in an even digit (0, 2, 4, 6, 8), visits happen on "even" weekends. This rotation helps the facility manage weekend capacity by spreading visits across alternating weekends.
The official source for 2026 is Sing Sing's 2026 visitation schedule PDF. That's the authoritative calendar showing which weekends belong to odd vs. even DIN last digits.
The 2026 PDF labels each visitation day by DIN last digit, making it easy to match your loved one's number to the right weekend. Holidays appear in red, so you can quickly spot weekends that might break from the usual pattern.
Reading the calendar is simple once you know the last digit of the DIN. Weekend visitation alternates between "ODD" and "EVEN" based on that digit. An "ODD" weekend means only DINs ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 can visit. An "EVEN" weekend is for DINs ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Before making plans: find the last digit of your loved one's DIN, then check the calendar for the weekend you want. If that weekend matches their group (odd or even), you're good. If not, look for the next weekend that does.
Visits at Sing Sing happen on weekends. That's exactly why the odd/even rotation matters - everyone's competing for the same limited days.
Visiting hours run from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. If you're traveling from far away, plan around that window - arrive too late and you may not have time to get processed and seated.
