Visiting
For DRC information and visitation guidelines go to https://www.drc.ohio.gov/visiting
Visitors must comply with the general visiting instructions and proper attire upon initial entrance. Wearing inappropriate clothing may result in a visitor not being permitted to visit.
On-line visiting reservations are now required for TCC and TCI. Each visitor (including children) must register on-line and receive a visitor ID number. This number will be used for all future reservations. Click here to create an account (https://ohdoc.gtlvisitme.com)
**Visitors currently approved must create an account, then unit staff will be notified to confirm it in the system (up to 5 business days). Once it is confirmed, reservations may be scheduled via internet.
**New applicants will be required to complete an application form (hard copy) and submit it with the supporting documentation. Potential visitors may create an account however, the review of documentation and unit staff confirmation on-line must occur prior to scheduling visits.
Visiting is limited to a maximum of five visitors per inmate at one time, including walking children over 10 years old, unless special arrangements have been made in advance. Each visiting session counts as a separate visit. Therefore, two visits on the same day shall count as two of the four visits allowed per inmate each month. Inmates housed in General Population and Security Control status will be permitted weekend visits, while inmates in Disciplinary status, LPH status are not authorized for weekend visitation. Inmates in Disciplinary status are permitted one, two-hour visit per visitor each month, with a maximum of two visitors. No weekends. Click here for additional information.
