Who can visit a juvenile in a DOC facility?
Immediate family members such as parents, step-parents, adoptive parents, siblings, step-siblings, grandparents, spouse, children of the juvenile or any other juvenile that is approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the institution as someone that may be beneficial to the juvenile’s treatment. All visitors are subject to a background check and are required to provide a social security number and date of birth for the check to be completed. Failure to provide this information will result in the denial of visitation privileges until such a time the information is provided. If someone has outstanding warrants, is on parole, probation, juvenile aftercare or has been convicted of a felony offense, visitation may be denied. Attorneys and clergy will be allowed to visit, pursuant to policy, after presenting proper credentials and identification.
