Visiting for Inmates Assigned to General Population

(1) The time, length, and place of visits shall be posted at the visiting desk and visiting room of each Department of Corrections facility.
(2) Visitors will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis unless a different process is approved by the superintendent.
(3) Visiting hours normally occur five days per week, including state holidays, except at minimum-security facilities. Due to physical plant design, work environment or staff level, facilities may limit or expand number of days, length, and time of visits at the discretion of the superintendent.
(4) Due to physical plant design, facilities may limit the number of visitors to no more than three or four persons at one time at the discretion of the superintendent or designee. Children under the age of three shall not be counted as part of the maximum number of visitors. Those with minor children exceeding these limitations may appeal to the superintendent or designee for approval in advance of the visiting.
(5) Inmates assigned to general population in a Department of Corrections facility may be permitted only one visiting session per visitor per day on weekends and holidays. Department of Corrections facilities shall take into consideration hours the visitors have traveled and any other extraneous situations that may warrant permitting two visiting sessions per day on weekends and holidays at the discretion of the superintendent or designee.
(6) An inmate assigned to general population in a Department of Corrections facility whose visits are restricted to basic visiting shall be permitted the following:
(a) No more than eight visiting sessions per month.
(b) Only two visitors per visit shall be allowed. A third person may be permitted if he or she is under three years of age and is held. Exceptions may be specifically authorized by the superintendent or designee.
(c) Duration of visits shall be established by the superintendent or designee and shall be a minimum of one hour, depending on space availability.
