Applying for Visitation

Visitors must have submitted a visitor’s application, be approved, and added to the incarcerated individual’s visitor list before visiting. To start the approval process, fill out the online application. A separate application form is needed for visitors under the age of 18. 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 thirty minutes before visits and may check in at the visitor entrance. For employee and visitor convenience, there is a light installed on the side of the visitation building facing the parking lot. 

The light will turn green when visitors can exit their vehicles and proceed to the visiting room for check-in. This will keep visitors from having to make trips down to wait during inclement weather. 

All visitors are required to park in the visitor’s parking lot outside of the LCC gates.
