Scheduling, Adding Visitors, and Canceling Visits for GDC Facilities

To request a scheduled visit, you'll use GDC's "Request a Scheduled Visit" tool. First-time visitor? Start with the approval process before booking anything. Becoming an approved visitor is the first step. Fill out the Visitation Request Form and submit it to the facility where your loved one is housed. Once your approval is in progress, you can move forward with scheduling your visit through the GDC form.

Already have a visit scheduled and need to bring more people? GDC provides an "Add Visitor" link. Use it to find your existing appointment and add guests. Gather the details the form requires before you start so you can complete everything in one pass. If you're adding someone who isn't already approved, they'll need to go through the visitor approval process first.

Can't make your scheduled visit? Use GDC's "Cancel my visit" link to find and cancel your appointment. Cancel as soon as you know you won't attend. This keeps the schedule accurate and avoids confusion for you, your loved one, and facility staff.

Practical Tips Next Steps

• ✓ Save confirmation details after you request, add visitors, or cancel (a screenshot or printed copy helps if you need to reference it later).
• ✓ If you are not sure you are approved to visit, complete the Visitation Request Form and submit the completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated.
• ✓ When using the “Add Visitor” or “Cancel my visit” tools, have the information the form requires ready so you can pull up the correct scheduled visit.
• ✓ If you cannot attend, cancel promptly using “Cancel my visit.”
• ✓ After you are approved, check the facility’s current visitation guidance for any facility-specific requirements before you go.
