Taycheedah Corrections Institution, WI

Visiting at Taycheedah Corrections Institution takes some planning, but it's manageable once you know the rules. If you're 16 or older, bring an acceptable photo ID—a state driver's license, passport/visa, DMV photo ID, military ID, or tribal photo ID all work. Video visits go through ICSolutions, which replaced Zoom during a phased rollout in June–July 2023. Nearly all visits—in-person or video—must be scheduled and approved ahead of time. The person you're visiting typically needs to add you to their approved visitor list before you can book. If you've registered but still can't schedule, email DOCDAIElectronicVisitSupport@wisconsin.gov for help.

Mailing someone at Taycheedah Corrections Institution? Most personal letters go through TextBehind, a third-party scanning service that delivers digital copies to residents. The originals are held briefly, then shredded 30 days after scanning by an NSA-certified vendor. Legal and medical mail works differently—TextBehind won't open or process clearly marked legal or medical correspondence. Those items go directly to the institution. To avoid delays, use a clear return address and include the resident's full legal name and inmate/DOC number so your letter reaches the right person.

Managing money for someone at Taycheedah Corrections Institution is straightforward once you know the limits. Specialty commissary packages are capped at $150 per resident per vendor each quarter, with a $20 minimum order—plan purchases around that quarterly cap. Adding funds? Don't mail money directly to Taycheedah. Deposits go through Access Corrections (online, by phone, by mail, or walk-in), with a $2,900 daily limit. For administrative requests like disbursements, use form DOC-184—make sure it's legible, signed, and dated. Interest-bearing savings accounts also use DOC-184 to open or close. You'll need $50 to open one, and interest posts quarterly.
