Visiting an inmate in Ohio

Visiting Applications and Rules for Visiting Ohio Inmates

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections has acknowledged the important of preserving an inmate's relationship with friends and family members through visitation.  Inmates who receive more visits have closer ties with their family and community and have a greater chance of never returning to the correctional system.  The challenge faced by prisons everywhere is in making the process of visitation understandable and accessible to everyone.

Visitation is an important part of keeping your relationship healthy with an inmate.  Studies have shown that inmates who receive more visits while incarcerated have closer ties to friends, family, and community, and in turn have a greater chance of success upon release.  Visitation can also give an inmate hope and something to look forward to during their incarceration.  Unfortunately it can be very hard to convince people to visit a prison.
