Approval for visiting multiple offenders is limited to immediate family members only. Non-immediate family members, including fiancées/fiancés, girlfriends, boyfriends, neighbors, cousins, and friends, are restricted to visiting one offender. All visitor applications expire after 36 months, requiring submission of a new application at least 30 days before expiration for uninterrupted visitation.
The Virginia Department of Corrections conducts annual record checks on visitors, and prior approval does not guarantee continuation. Processing time for online applications is typically 30 days, while out-of-state applicants should allow up to 90 days. Accuracy and completeness are crucial to avoid processing delays. Approved visitors must present valid photo identification matching the application details.
Visitors aged 65 or older or those with visual impairments can contact AFOI for assistance with the application process. However, AFOI cannot provide application status information; for updates, contact VADOC Visitor Registration at (804) 887-8341.
Visitation is permitted on Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays, with specific days varying by institution. Visitors should confirm visiting days with the facility, as some institutions alternate visitation days based on alphabetical order or offender ID number. Offenders are entitled to a minimum of one hour per visiting day, with visit duration subject to various factors.
Each institution may have different visitation procedures subject to change without prior notice. It is advisable to contact the facility before planning a visit for updated information on their visiting program.
All visitors, including children, must adhere to dress regulations. Proper attire must cover from the neck to the kneecaps, including appropriate footwear and underwear. Prohibited clothing includes tube tops, mini-skirts, see-through garments, and clothing with inappropriate symbols or language. Visitors deemed inappropriately dressed will be referred to the Administrative Duty Officer for final decision on admission.
