How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
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.
