  • Use of Information Provided

  • The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCR) will use the information provided to check criminal history records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This information may be used to deny or restrict your visitation privileges with the DOCR. It is voluntary for you to provide this information; however, if you do not provide the requested information, visitation may be denied. You have the opportunity to review and/or challenge the accuracy of the information contained in the FBI identification record. The procedure for obtaining a change, correction, or updating an FBI identification record is set forth in Title 28 CFR 16.34.

  • Search Policy

  • Any individual entering the institution or its grounds may be subject to search at any time for contraband articles. This also applies to their personal property. Anyone refusing to submit to search will be denied admittance. If contraband is found, the institution may detain the individual for a reasonable amount of time. Searches are not intended to embarrass or degrade any individual, nor are they intended to cast doubt on the integrity of the individual. The institution has found, through experience, that it is necessary to conduct searches for contraband to adequately provide a safe and secure institution for inmates, staff, and visitors. A refusal to allow a search may result in loss of visiting privileges. If a resident is found in possession of contraband upon completion of a visit, the visitor(s) may lose visiting privileges.

  • Visitor Policies

    1. No one under the age of 18 will be permitted to visit unless they are accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. Special permission must be granted by the Chief of Security for other circumstances; written consent must be given by the child's parent or legal guardian.
    2. Official State, Federal, or Tribal photo identification will be required for all persons entering the facility except those under 18 years of age who are supervised by a parent or guardian. Failure to produce ID will be grounds to deny admittance.
