This is strictly up to the prison warden.

This is strictly up to the prison warden. If you have been an inmate in the GDC, you will need to explain the entire story to the warden or someone on their staff to get consideration for a visit. Normally, felons and ex-convicts are NOT allowed to visit at any institution. If you think your circumstances merit the visit, you will need to go through a vetting protocol before you get permission.
