Visitation
Visiting at South Middlesex Correctional Center starts with pre-approval. You need to be on the inmate's visiting list, which means completing and mailing a Visitor Application to the institution. List size depends on security level: Maximum and Medium allow 8 people, while Minimum/Pre-release allows 10. The list can be revised up to three times per year. If the person you're visiting is newly committed, they can have two temporary visitors (plus a reasonable number of children) while applications are pending. Those temporary visitors become inactive after 40 business days if not approved. Minors under 18 don't need pre-approval, but they must come with an approved parent or legal guardian. Non-parents need a Minor Consent Form, Superintendent approval, and the child's birth record. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Be aware that passive drug-detection dogs may be used, and video visits through Securus still require pre-approval.
