You may contact a Baskerville Correctional Center prisoner in numerous ways. This includes video, in-person, phone, letter, and money exchanges. The visiting policy is available to read in Operating Procedure 851.1.
In-person visitation
Visitation with convicts helps reintegrate them into society, but it must be safe for both parties. A few rules assist to speed up the procedure. On November 8, 2021, the facility will accept in-person visitors with a negative Covid-19 test and a mask.
How it Works
- Apply online for visitation. Minors are welcome to visit.
- The Visitation Scheduler may be used after registering online. Once accepted, you may choose dates for one visit every weekend, arranged up to 14 days in advance.
- Arrive 1 hour early for security and Covid testing. No food or drink during visits.
- Bring a valid photo ID. A valid driver's license, passport, or military ID is acceptable.
- Respect the dress code; inappropriate apparel will impede visiting. No inappropriate language or visuals, and always wear footwear. In addition to removing wearable tech, you may be requested to remove jewelry.
