How Many In‑Person Visits Can Someone Have at Waupun Correctional Institution?

WCI's visiting guidelines (dated 4/10/25) set two limits that work together: someone in custody can have up to five in-person visits per month and up to two per week. So even if there are more openings on the calendar, both caps can limit how many visits actually happen.

A memorandum dated July 29, 2025 bumps the weekly limit. The memo notes that people in WCI custody were allowed two in-person visits per week, increasing to three per week effective August 4, 2025. If you're seeing different numbers across documents, check the dates - that's usually the reason.

Knowing the limit is one thing; getting a spot is another. Appointments are first-come, first-serve, so earlier requests have the best shot at your preferred session. WCI requires in-person visits to be scheduled at least 48 hours ahead, and you can book up to 14 days in advance through the ICSolutions system.

Once you book, follow through. Under WCI's guidelines, if a visitor doesn't show - or if the person in custody refuses - the appointment still counts toward the monthly total. A missed visit quietly uses up one of the month's allowed visits, even though no one actually saw each other.

• ✓ Only people on the DOC‑approved visiting list are allowed to visit.
• ✓ Each in‑person visit can include up to 4 approved visitors total (adults, minors, and infants all count), and at least 1 visitor must be an adult.

Because the July 29, 2025 memo raised the weekly limit to three visits effective August 4, 2025, double-check which guidance applies when you schedule - especially if you're working from an older copy of the rules. If what you read doesn't match what the scheduling system allows, contact WCI to confirm the current weekly allowance before locking in plans.
