Inmate Visitation

The DOC resumed in-person visitation in March 2021.  Visitation will include social distancing and several new restrictions are in place to protect the health and safety of offenders, staff and visitors. These restrictions temporarily supercede DOC Policy 1.5.D.1 Inmate Visiting. Specific restrictions are included in the facility information below. The policy guidelines on visitor apparel and items allowed during a visit remain in effect. Visitor Apparel and Items Allowed Guidelines

Prospective visitors at all DOC facilities must be on the approved visit list for the inmate and must schedule a visit online at https://sddoc.gtlvisitme.com/app. Visits can be scheduled as much as two weeks in advance, but must be scheduled no later than 72 hours prior to the desired visit session.
