The first step in the visitation process is to become an approved visitor. To do so, you must first fill out the Visitation Request Form and submit a completed form to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated.

Offenders are allowed to have up to four visitors at one time. All visits must be scheduled through the online portal. Once reviewed, you'll receive an email to notify you that your visit request has been approved.
