Rhode Island High Security Center

You must call the facility directly to find out the Visiting Days/Times at Rhode Island High Security Center.

Both awaiting trial and sentenced inmates may see visitors. To visit an inmate on a regular basis, your name must appear on his/her visitors’ list. Ask the inmate to put your name on this list. 

You must pass both the BCI and NCIC background checks to appear on any inmate’s visitors’ list. Counselors can assist both awaiting trial and sentenced inmates in filling out the form to add a name to his/her visitors’ list.

Sentenced inmates are allowed nine (9) names on their visitors’ list. These nine people may visit the inmate and deposit money into the inmate’s ACI account. An additional two (2) names may be added to a sentenced inmate’s visitors’ list ONLY for the purpose of depositing money into his/her ACI account. These additional two (2) people may NOT visit.
