Visiting someone at Skyline Correctional Center starts with the facility's Visitor Application and a current government-issued photo ID. The address on your ID must match your application exactly, or you'll be denied. Approved visitors stay active through an annual background check. Go a full year without visiting? You'll be deactivated and need to reapply. If you live far away or visit infrequently, submit a separate Special Visitation Application to the location listed on the facility page. Skyline's social visitation program includes contact visits, non-contact visits, family time, phone calls, and video visitation. Visitors with active felony or misdemeanor warrants are denied for in-person, non-contact, and video visits. Need ADA accommodations? Contact the facility ADA coordinator as soon as possible, no later than seven business days before your visit.
