How to Visit Wyoming Correctional Facility (NY)
Visiting at Wyoming Correctional Facility comes down to timing. Visits happen on weekends, follow a DIN-based rotation, and you need to arrive before the facility's cutoff.
Visits at Wyoming Correctional Facility happen on weekends only. Hours run from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM, and the latest you can arrive is 2:15 PM. Plan your drive and check-in time around that cutoff.
Each incarcerated person is limited to one visit per day. You can bring up to three visitors per visit, plus one child under age five. Any child under five must sit on an adult's lap.
SHU visits: If your loved one is in Special Housing Unit (SHU) custody, they are allowed one non-legal visit within a seven-day period during normal visitation hours.
Weekend visits are divided by the last digit of the incarcerated person's DIN, on alternating weekends. Before you head out, check which weekend matches your loved one's DIN group. Showing up on an off weekend means you won't get in.
Overcrowding: If the visiting room gets too full, visits may be cut short. Local visits (within 100 miles) can be ended after three hours on a first-in, first-out basis. Non-local visits (over 100 miles) follow the same rule after three hours, with special consideration given in certain situations.
- Plan for a weekend visit. Wyoming Correctional Facility’s visiting days are weekends only.
- Match your trip to the DIN rotation. Visits are scheduled by the last digit of the incarcerated person’s DIN on alternating weekends.
- Arrive before the cutoff. Visiting hours are 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM, and the latest arrival time is 2:15 PM.
- ✓ Keep it to one visit per incarcerated person per day.
- ✓ Bring no more than three visitors total per visit.
- ✓ You can bring one child under age five, but the child must sit on an adult’s lap.
Plan for exceptions: SHU custody limits non-legal visits to one within a seven-day period. Overcrowding can also end visits after three hours (local visitors first, then non-local), even if you arrived on time.
Before you travel, confirm that visitation is still weekends only and check the current alternating-weekend rotation by last digit of DIN. The most important thing to verify: which DIN digits are scheduled for the specific weekend you plan to visit.
Double-check the hours before you leave. Visiting hours are listed as 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM with a latest arrival time of 2:15 PM. That arrival cutoff matters most if you're driving a long distance.
Confirm the count rules for your group so nobody gets turned away at the door. Visits are limited to one per incarcerated person per day, with up to three visitors per visit, plus one child under five (who must sit on an adult's lap). If your loved one is in SHU custody, verify the one non-legal visit within a seven-day period rule still applies. You can also ask whether any special permissions apply to your situation, since the overcrowding policy notes that special consideration may be given in certain cases.
Where to confirm: Call Wyoming Correctional Facility's official DOCCS phone number or check the facility's official webpage to verify the current schedule before you go.
