How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting Two Rivers Correctional Institution takes some planning, but it's manageable once you know the steps. All visits must be pre-scheduled, and you need to be on the adult in custody's approved visitors list first. Starting Dec 1, 2025, scheduling moves to the IC Solutions Corrections website. Before you travel, check the facility's Visiting Alerts Calendar—cancellations happen. Bring proper ID, dress appropriately (no blue or denim), and pack only what's allowed: quarters, up to five non‑Polaroid photos, emergency prescription medications, and approved infant items. Can't safely go through a metal detector? Have a physician complete the Metal Detector Medical Exception form and contact the facility about submitting it. Special/basic (DSU) visits follow separate rules: behind glass, limited to two visitors, and require a fully completed CD‑50 application.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
Your first visit goes smoother when you show up with the right items—and nothing that'll slow you down at the door. Use this checklist to pack for an in-person visit at Two Rivers.
Your first Oregon DOC visit goes much smoother when you bring the right basics—and leave the wrong items at home. Use this checklist to avoid getting turned away at the door.
Before you can visit someone at Two Rivers in person, you need to get approved. That means completing the CD-50 visiting application to get added to their approved visitors list.
Heading to an Oregon DOC visit? Bring only a small amount of change—but be warned, DOC's own pages list different limits. Here's what the guidance says and how to confirm the right amount before you make the drive.
Getting approved to visit someone in an Oregon DOC facility starts with the CD 50 visiting application. Once you know what to fill out and where to send it, the process is pretty straightforward.
Scheduling your first visit might seem complicated, but the system is actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Two Rivers uses ICSolutions for visit scheduling — you'll set everything up online before you go.
Starting December 1, 2025, Oregon DOC is changing how in-person visits get booked. You'll need to schedule ahead through IC Solutions Corrections—no more showing up and hoping for an open slot.
A denial doesn't have to be final. In Oregon DOC, either the adult in custody (AIC) or the prospective visitor can request an administrative review.
Show up to Two Rivers wearing blue, and there's a good chance you won't make it past the front door. Oregon DOC's dress code is unusually strict about this one rule — and it's easy to miss if you're not expecting it.
To schedule a visit, you must first be on the adult in custody’s approved visitors list. Beginning Dec 1, 2025, all visits are pre-scheduled through the IC Solutions Corrections website. Check the Visiting Alerts Calendar before you travel in case a visit is canceled or changed.
Bring valid identification, quarters, up to five non‑Polaroid photos, approved infant items, and emergency prescription medications. You can’t wear blue or denim to visits. Non‑emergency medications, electronic devices, weapons, smoking products, and other specified items aren’t allowed in the visiting room.
Submitting the CD‑50 visiting application doesn't guarantee approval—the adult in custody can also refuse visiting requests. If your application is denied, you can request an administrative review using form CD‑1594. The request must reach them within 60 days of the denial letter. You can fax or mail the CD‑50 to the Visiting Services Unit using the DOC-provided contact addresses.
If a medical condition makes walking through a metal detector unsafe, you can still visit at Two Rivers. You'll just need your doctor to complete the Oregon DOC Metal Detector Medical Exception Form before your visit.
