Weekend Visiting Hours at Wyoming Women's Center (Lusk): What to Expect
Weekend visits at Wyoming Women's Center run on two set time blocks each day. Plan around those windows—and the gap between them—and your visit will go much more smoothly.
Wyoming Women's Center in Lusk offers in-person visits on Saturdays and Sundays. If you're working around a job, childcare, or a long drive, treat the weekend schedule like a fixed appointment and plan your day around the facility's posted times.
Each weekend day splits into two blocks. The morning block runs 07:00–11:00. The afternoon block runs 11:45–15:30. That mid-day break is short, so decide ahead of time which block you're aiming for - and build in extra time for check-in.
Think of the day as two separate sessions: morning (07:00–11:00) and afternoon (11:45–15:30). The 45-minute gap exists so staff can clear the visiting area and reset between groups. The exact process varies, but don't assume the first block rolls straight into the second without a break.
Before you go: Confirm how the facility handles the break between blocks - whether visitors need to exit and re-enter, and whether you can attend both sessions in the same day.
Tips Make Most
- ✓ Aim to arrive early for your chosen block so you’re not rushed by check-in lines.
- ✓ Decide ahead of time which block you’re targeting (07:00–11:00 or 11:45–15:30) and plan your drive around it.
- ✓ If you’re hoping to visit during a specific block, coordinate with your loved one ahead of time so you’re not guessing.
- ✓ Bring what you’ll need for entry (especially your ID) and keep it easy to reach.
- ✓ Keep a short list of “must-cover” topics so the visit doesn’t get eaten up by logistics and small talk.
- ✓ If emotions run high, give yourself a simple plan: start with updates, move to bigger topics, end with next steps (mail, calls, future visits).
- Confirm you’re approved to visit - handle approvals and any required paperwork before the weekend so you’re not trying to fix it at the door.
- Pick your time block and commit to it - choose either 07:00–11:00 or 11:45–15:30 and plan your arrival with extra buffer.
- Get your documents ready the night before - set out your ID and any papers you may need so you’re not scrambling in the parking lot.
- Use the first minutes well - start with the most important updates first, while you both have the most focus.
- Wrap up a little early - aim to finish your key conversation 10–15 minutes before the end of the block in case exiting takes time (especially if you’re trying to navigate the mid-day break).
Still getting set up as a visitor? The Wyoming Department of Corrections (WDOC) provides a Visitor Application: WDOC Form 531, available in English and Spanish. WDOC also posts other visiting-related paperwork - Form 532 (Letter of Custodial Consent for Inmate Visiting), Form 533 (Visiting Room Protocol for Inmates), Form 534 (Visiting Rules), and Form 535 (Summary of Inmate Visiting Eligibility by Status). Getting the right forms handled ahead of time is one of the best ways to protect your weekend visit window.
Policy reference: WDOC ties visitation to policy PP 5.400 (Inmate Visiting) - that's the main document behind most approval and rule questions.
Even with posted hours, last-minute changes happen - especially around holidays or staffing issues. Before you leave home, confirm Wyoming Women's Center is still running the standard weekend blocks (07:00–11:00 and 11:45–15:30) and check for any special instructions.
Quick day-of checklist: Confirm the schedule, make sure you have your ID and any proof of approval, and clarify anything that could affect timing - like how the mid-day break works.
