How do I visit my inmate in the Rio Grande Detention Center?
Hi there, Do we have to be placed on a list by the inmates in order to visit them in the Rio Grande Detention Center? Thanks in advance for your help Diane

GEO facilities are privately run and are very conscious of sticking to the protocol they design that got them the contract in the first place.

GEO facilities are privately run and are very conscious of sticking to the protocol they design that got them the contract in the first place. This means that the visitation is a tightly run operation where you will have to go through the screening process before being allowed visits. We encourage you to call the facility and speak with a counselor before setting a date to visit (956) 718-4700.
