Topic Overviews

Visitation

Tabor Correctional Institution allows both in-person and video visits, but in-person visitation is appointment-only. Schedule your visit ahead of time, then confirm by phone or email the day before. You must be on the offender's approved visitor list before visiting, which means submitting a completed visitor application and waiting for facility staff approval. Each offender may have up to 18 approved visitors total (adults and minors), so choose carefully who gets added. Under normal circumstances, offenders are allowed one visiting session per week, capped at two hours. Visitors age 16 and older should expect pat or frisk searches and electronic-device screening. Cell phones, smartwatches, cameras, and similar devices are prohibited. Refusing a search means you won't be allowed entry.
