How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Suffolk County (Nashua Street) offers visitation in set time blocks, Monday through Sunday. Daily slots can change, so check the facility's current schedule before you go. Bringing children? The rules are strict: anyone under 18 can only visit with a parent who brings the child's original birth certificate (no photocopies). Only two children are allowed per visit, and child visits aren't permitted on Saturdays. Most visitors also need to go through a pre-approval process. The inmate typically starts this by submitting a visitor application to get you added to their visiting list. Confirm all requirements ahead of time, arrive early, and review the ID and allowed-item rules so you don't get delayed or turned away.
