Howard McLeod Correctional Center

Important Note:All inmate visitors must submit a “Visitor Request Form." You can download a copy here, or request one from the facility.Background checks will be completed on everyone 18 or older. The inmate will notify you when the process is complete. The approval process takes approximately 8 weeks once the Visitor Request Form has been returned to HMCC.

All visitors bringing children under the age of 18 to visit will provide documentation; such as a birth certificate, adoption papers, etc. to reflect parentage or guardianship. Once a child reaches 18 years of age, a visiting application will be completed in accordance with Section II. item A. of this procedure in order to be placed on the inmate’s visiting list.

Visitation Regulations

Visitation hours vary by each facility. An inmate's security level dictates how many hours he or she may visit with approved visitors.

HMCC is a minimum-security facility, and its inmates may receive up to eight hours per week, excluding holidays.

State-recognized holidays that fall on Monday through Friday are "free" visiting days. That means that, while an inmates' allowable number of hours for visiting still corresponds with their security level, holiday visitation will not count toward their total number of allowed visitation hours.

If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, visitation hours count on total visiting privilege level hours.

Level I
One hour per week -
Inmates are permitted a one hour non contact visit per week from 6-7 p.m. Saturday, except for during state holidays. If the holiday is on any day than Saturday, the inmate can visit on that day, as well as Saturday, from 6-7 p.m. Visitors must check in by 5:45 p.m.

Level  2
Three hours per week -
Visiting  hours  will  be at 12-3 p.m. either Saturday or Sunday plus state holidays.  

Level  3
Five hours per week -
Visiting hours will be 10 a.m.-3 p.m. either Saturday or Sunday plus state holidays.

Level 4 
6.5 hours per week -
Visiting hours will be 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m., either Saturday or Sunday plus state holidays.   

Special Visits

Special extended visits are allowed for staff-identified individuals who travel long distances, volunteers or team members who partner with ODOC in reentry services, attorney/clergy, etc. The facility's warden determines the length and conditions of all special visits. Special visits for ministers/religious leaders must be scheduled in advance through the Warden. 

Requests for special visits must be made by the inmate using the appropriate request form and must be submitted by the inmate to unit staff at least two weeks in advance so verification can be made. Exceptions to time frames may be considered in emergencies.

If the special visit is allowed on the inmate’s regular visiting day, the length of the visit will be determined by the inmate’s visiting privilege level criteria. If the special visit is during the work week, the length of the visit will be determined individually and not to exceed two hours. However, if the inmate is Level 1, special visits must adhere to non-contact policy.
