Stanley Corrections Inst.,WI

Visiting at Stanley Correctional Institution requires advance scheduling through ICSolutions—you must be on the person-in-custody (PIOC) approved visiting list before you arrive. Walk-ins aren't admitted. Check the current schedule before you go, since the institution posts specific weekday hours, weekend/holiday hours, and days when the visiting lobby is closed. Each PIOC can receive up to four in-person visits per week (Monday through Sunday), with only one allowed per weekend. Visitors 16 and older need photo ID, and you'll go through standard lobby procedures and security screening during the check-in window. Three failed attempts at the metal detector means you're denied entry. Need a medical accommodation? Have your physician complete DOC-2424 ahead of time. When you park, lock your vehicle and roll up the windows—no waiting in cars, and pets can't stay in vehicles.

Schedule both video visits and in-person visits at Stanley Corrections Inst. through ICSolutions (www.icsolutions.com). People in custody can have up to three video visits per week (12 per month max), with a one-per-day limit. Each video visit costs $2.50—and you're charged even if either party is a no-show. Up to six visitors can join a single video visit; minors must be listed and supervised by an authorized adult. You'll need to show a valid state ID when the video visit starts. If your loved one is in restrictive-status housing, visits are video only, limited to one hour and two visitors, offered first-come, first-served during regular visiting hours.

Mail at Stanley Corrections Institution works differently than you might expect. Personal letters go through TextBehind for photocopying and processing—mail items to TextBehind, not the facility. Include your return address plus the person's full name, DOC number, and facility name so it gets matched correctly. Send personal mail directly to the institution? It comes right back to you. TextBehind won't open identifiable medical or legal mail; legal mail gets forwarded to the institution for handling under legal-mail procedures. Originals are kept briefly after scanning, then shredded by a certified third-party service 30 days later.

Stanley Corrections Institute only accepts inmate deposits through Access Corrections Secure Deposit and its walk-in affiliate CashPayToday—don't mail or drop off money directly at the facility. There's a $2,900 per-day cap on deposits through Access Corrections. You can deposit online, by phone, at a lobby kiosk, through walk-in cash locations, or by mail using the vendor's process. Once funds post, they go into the inmate's account for commissary and other approved purchases. Have the inmate's full name and ID ready so the money lands in the right account. Planning to mail a payment? Follow the vendor's instructions—mailed payments typically need to be money orders or cashier's checks, not cash or personal checks.
