Extended Visiting Hours 2019

In an effort to allow families to visit their loved ones in state prisons during the holiday season, many of the DOC's facilities hold extended hours for visiting.

Below are the extended holiday hours; these are in addition to the regular hours, which will be held as normal unless otherwise indicated. Schedule is subject to change; always check before you leave to ensure visiting is still scheduled!
