Inmate Visitation List

Each inmate is allowed 18 approved visitors (adults and minors).

Legal, law enforcement, consular officials, local and state Family Services and Juvenile Court officials must register with the facility prior to visiting with the inmate. They will not be counted in the maximum 18 approved visitors.

Only immediate family members or those who have acted as immediate family, clergy, legal, law enforcement, family/juvenile services, or consular officials will be approved for visitation with more than one inmate.

An inmate's visitation list remains active when transferring to a new facility.

When an inmate is released or paroled, the visitation list becomes inactive. If the inmate is re-admitted, the visitation process must start over.

When an inmate reaches the maximum number of approved visitors (18), he/she will not be able to adjust their visitation list until their open enrollment period.

An inmate's open enrollment period will be every six months based on the date of admission to prison. (i.e. inmate's admission date is January; open enrollment is July and January) If an inmate has 18 approved visitors and they want to add a new visitor during open enrollment they must first remove one of the current approved visitors from the list.

An inmate may request that an approved visitor be removed at anytime. They may not add a replacement until his/her open enrollment.

If a facility suspends an approved visitor, the inmate may not add a replacement until his/her open enrollment period.

An application for a new visitor must be submitted, completed, returned, and approved BEFORE the new visitor can visit. It will be up to the inmate to inform the new visitor of their visitation status.
