Reservations

Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to visit an offender.

• Visitors can make a reservation by calling 216-771-6460, ext. 2010, on the following days ONLY:
  
  • Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
    
• Visitors may also make a reservation for their next visit with the desk officer at the conclusion of a visit with an offender.

If visitors need to cancel a previously made reservation they may do so by calling 216-771-6460, ext. 2010 at least 48 hours in advance, and the offender will not be charged for a visit.

Visitors may only make a reservation for one session, one inmate at a time unless the offenders are immediate family members and at the discretion and prior approval of the managing officer.

Visitors must be on the offender's approved visiting list.  Attorneys and clergy also need to call ahead in order to visit.  Attorneys should identify themselves as such so that a private room can be reserved if it is wanted or needed.

Visiting hours are subject to change without notice.  Please call the institution to verify visiting hours before planning a visit.

Unique Programs

• Mosaic: The Mosaic Program is an innovative therapeutic residential trauma treatment program designed to help women make connections between their traumatic and abusive histories, their addiction and incarceration.  The program model encompasses empirically validated and gender responsive approaches to treatment. Mosaic is partially funded by a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance in cooperation with Recovery Resources, a full service community mental health/addiction treatment agency in Cleveland.

• Moving On:  Is an intervention program specifically for women who are involved with the criminal justice system. The overarching goal of this program is to assist women in mobilizing and developing personal and social resources to reduce the risk of future criminal behavior. This program can be offered on an individual or group basis to women who are detained or living in the community.

• Money Smart: This program is a class about the “basics” involved in money management. Participants will learn how to budget expenses & money; ways to decrease spending / increase income; the importance in saving money, how to choose a credit card; how to responsibly use a credit card and how to obtain a credit to build or repair poor credit.
