Before You Drive to Wynne Unit: A Pre-Visit Checklist
A little prep can save you a wasted trip. Use this checklist to make sure your visit is actually happening before you hit the road.
How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Wynne Unit visits are scheduled through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler, which lists Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet visit types (Video/Tablet is separate from Securus Video). Not every visit type is available for every inmate or unit, so options can vary. You must create your own scheduler account since TDCJ staff cannot do it for you. Registration requires an email, a 7-digit validation code and link sent to that email, and completion of the background questionnaire (enter your phone number as XXX XXX XXXX). To add an inmate, use their 8-digit TDCJ or SID number. Relationship requests stay under Pending Approval while unit staff verify them. If the Schedule Visit button is blank or says Call Unit, call Wynne Unit directly to schedule. The scheduler also hides dates if the inmate already has a visit that week.
