Applying for Visitation

Visitors must have submitted a visitor’s application, be approved, and added to the incarcerated individual’s visitor list before visiting.

Minors under 18 years of age may visit with a parent/guardian or an approved escort only. 

Visitor Check-In

Visitors are welcome to arrive in Public Access 10 minutes before visits and will check in at the visitor entrance.  MSC visitors may arrive on grounds and park in the designated visitor parking lot no sooner than 11:30am. 

Visitors should remain in their vehicles until 11:50am at which time visitors may enter Public Access and pull a ticket from the ticket machine located on the desk. Visitors will be called for processing as the number comes up. 

For the safety of all visitors they ask that visitors do not run or walk through the gravel and to please be courteous and respectful of others. MSU visitors will park in the designated area (graveled turnout off the right side to the road near the coyote statue) and check in at the desk in the outer foyer/lobby area of the MultiPurpose Room. 

Visitors should inform visit personnel in advance when difficult news will be shared during a visit. Visit personnel will attempt to make a suitable seating arrangement for the visit.
