Visiting

New rules effective January 1, 2013

• Walk-ins will be accepted on Monday, Thursday, and Friday on a first come, first serve basis until 1:00 p.m. for those on the approved level 1 and 2A inmates' visiting list.  Visiting will be closed on Tuesday, Wednesday, and holidays. Madison utilizes an odd/even visitation system. Offender numbers ending in an even number (0,2, 4, 6, 8) can have visitors on even calendar days. Each visiting day is a split-session: Mornings 8:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.; and Afternoons 11:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The above  visitation rules only affect level 1 and 2A inmates. Level 2B inmates' visitation rules are addressed in the last

  Please note:  Visiting reservations are required the day before and the day after a state holiday due to the high volume of families wanting to visit. Reservations on those days can be made from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Thursday through Monday by calling 740-852-1411.  Visitors can visit 4 times a month.  SORRC inmates will have 2 times per month/per visitor. A "no show/no call" will count as one visit. Reservations are accepted 30 days in advance and must be made by the person who will be visiting.

  Level 2B inmates are not allowed weekend visits; however level 2B inmates will visit on Monday, Thursday, and Friday and will be exempted from the above mentioned even and odd day schedule.  As always, it is the inmate's responsibility to contact their visits as to what their security level is and the privileges allowed.

Unique Programs

• The Youthful Offender Program at Madison houses young men between the ages of 14 and 17 years old.  They are received into a living unit specifically designed for this population.  The Youthful Offender Program is maintained by ensuring a structured daily schedule, as well as placing a high priority on each young man obtaining his high school education.  The program is driven by an incentive based system which is structured to encourage mature behavior.  Reentry programming is also offered within this housing unit.
• Sex Offender Risk Reduction Center (SORRC) provides assessment and basic sex offender education services to all inmates sentenced as or determined to be a sex offender.  The SORRC program provides twenty hours of basic sex offender education with the goal of ensuring that all sex offenders committed to DRC are confronted with the effects of their offenses on their victims and encouraged to take responsibility for their actions.  After completing the program, the inmates are transferred to their parent institution to complete their court ordered sentence.
• Faith Based Reentry Dorm is a collaborative initiative and includes the following ministries:  Alpha, Celebrate Recovery, Evangelism Explosion, Prison Fellowship, and Promise Keepers.  We have several volunteer ministries as well, offering group and individual mentoring.  Faith Based housing is also available for the men upon their release.
