How to Apply for Visiting Approval at Southeastern Correctional: Complete Walkthrough

Before you can visit someone at Southeastern Correctional, you need to be approved through the Ohio DRC visitor application process. No approval, no visit. Visiting rules aren't uniform across Ohio prisons, either. While the DRC provides standard forms—the General Visiting Instructions (DRC2274) and Declaration of Understanding (DRC2554)—each managing officer controls visiting hours, how many visitors are allowed, visit frequency and duration, and which visits take priority. That's why some details are handled at the institution level.
