Frequently Asked Questions about Visiting an Inmate
- I have a previous conviction, can I still visit?
Each application is considered individually. If you have a previous conviction it does not necessarily disqualify you from visiting. Emphasis is placed on your honest and complete response to the visiting questionnaire.- I am currently on probation/parole, can I still visit?
Yes. You will need a letter from your probation/parole officer granting permission. Otherwise this fact alone will not disqualify you from visiting.- Can I be on more than one inmate's visiting list?
No. The only exception would be situations where all concerned are immediate family.- I am an ex-employee of the KDOC, can I visit?
