Visiting Rules at NWRCC: Who Can Visit, Age Rules, Visitor Limits and Behavior Guidelines
Visiting at NWRCC is straightforward once you know the rules that get people turned away. Use this guide to confirm who can visit, what ID you need, how many people can join a session, and what behavior can end a visit early.
All on-site (public) visits at NWRCC are free. That takes some pressure off when you're trying to stay connected. You still need to follow the scheduling and check-in rules to get through the door, though.
Before you can visit, you'll need to create a visitor account and schedule the visit at least 24 hours in advance. Same-day requests will be denied. Visits have to be on the schedule ahead of time, no exceptions.
When you arrive, check in with Corrections staff. Bring an official photo ID that shows your date of birth. Staff will verify it before letting you in.
There's no age restriction for visitation at NWRCC, so children can visit. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and kids cannot be left unattended in the lobby.
Visitor Counts Limits
- ✓ Two adult visitors are allowed per session
- ✓ One adult and two small children are allowed per session
- ✓ Only one inmate may be visited at a time (one inmate per visiting station per visit)
Dress and conduct rule: Profanities, nudity, and illicit gestures are prohibited during visits. Both you and the inmate must be fully clothed at all times.
Show up sober. If staff believe you're under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your visit won't happen. Even with a scheduled time, appearing intoxicated is enough to get turned away at check-in.
Safety rule: Visiting while driving is strictly prohibited and illegal.
Do not try to bring contraband into the facility. If you attempt to smuggle anything in, you'll be asked to leave and you'll forfeit future visiting privileges.
Assume your visit is not private. NWRCC reserves the right to monitor visits, and all visits will be recorded.
If a court has issued a no-contact order, take it seriously before attempting any communication. Any incoming or outgoing communication that violates a court-imposed no-contact order will be forwarded to the appropriate prosecuting authority and law enforcement agency.
