In 1998, ODOC renamed it Jim E. Hamilton Correctional Center in honor of the State Senator - Sen. James E. Hamilton - who was instrumental in acquiring the site for the state.
Visitation
Visitation days are Saturday and Sunday and state holidays unless the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday. If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the regular visiting schedule applies.
Visitation hours vary by each facility. An inmate's security level dictates how many hours he or she may visit with approved visitors.
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 JEHCC.
