Watch Now: How to Complete an Online Visitation Application

In-Person Visitation

Family and friends may stay connected with their incarcerated loved ones through in-person visitation.

Not planning to visit? The visitation form is also used to apply for approval to place funds on an inmate account.

Step 1: 

Before completing a visitation application online, create an OKTA account by following the OKTA account creation instructions. Use your full legal name to create the OKTA account. The name used to create the OKTA account must match the name on the visitation application exactly. Individuals who already have OKTA accounts may proceed directly to the visitation application.

For assistance with your OKTA account, call (406) 444-4234. 

Step 2:

Complete the online visitation application.

Apply for Visitation

Have the following items available when completing the application:

  • Social Security Number
  • Driver’s License or state ID number
  • Copy of state-issued or government ID (driver’s license, passport, state ID card, tribal ID card)

To apply to bring a minor child to visit, have the following documentation available:

  • Proof of legal authority over the child (copy of minor’s birth certificate and temporary guardianship/court paperwork, if applicable)
  • Permission from the person with legal authority over the child. Submit the Legal Authority Consent for Minor Visit and/or Escort.

Applicants will be notified via email when a determination has been made regarding their visitation application. The inmate will be notified as well. The application review process may take up to 90 days.

To appeal a decision, click on the link provided in the notification email and follow the instructions.

Family and friends do not need to complete a new visitation application if their loved one is transferred to Crossroads Correctional Center, Dawson County Correctional Center, or Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility.
