Application Processing Time Update: The Statewide Visit Unit (SVU) is currently working on processing a very high volume of visit applications. Applications are taking approximately 40-45 business days to process (business days do not include weekends or state holidays). Applications are processed in the order they are received. Submitting more than one application will cause previous applications to be voided and the process to restart.


To avoid unnecessary expenses, be sure you have received your notification of approval for visitation before making travel arrangements to the facility. Visitor’s whose applications have not been approved will not be granted access to the prison for visit privileges.


Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Department of Corrections recognizes the vital role family and friends play in providing meaningful connection during confinement and throughout the reentry process. The Department will support incarcerated individuals in maintaining prosocial ties with family, friends and the community by engaging them and setting reasonable criteria for personal visits.

Please take the visit survey to let us know how we're doing. We want to ensure your visiting experience has been comfortable. Thank you!
