Statewide rules that apply at every Connecticut correctional facility

These rules are set by Connecticut DOC and apply at every unit. The full list — including all permitted and prohibited items and the approval process — is in Visiting in Connecticut.

Dress code

Dress with reasonable modesty — no revealing, seductive, or offensive clothing, and nothing staff consider a safety or security risk.
No watches of any kind, for any visitor (including attorneys).
Avoid metal in clothing and accessories — underwire, belts, jewelry, hair clips, body piercings, and metal-toed shoes can stop you from clearing the metal detector and lead to denied entry.
Connecticut does not publish a detailed list of banned colors or styles, so confirm any specifics with the facility before traveling.

ID: Every visitor 18 or older shows valid government-issued photo ID at each visit (driver's license, state ID, military ID, passport, or permanent resident card), and a child's accompanying adult brings the child's birth certificate plus one other document with the child's name. Every visitor must be approved on the inmate's visiting list first.
What to bring: Almost nothing comes into the visit room — no phones, electronics, food, purses, or coats (the one exception is a clear bottle, a small cloth, and a pacifier for an infant). Nothing may be passed to the inmate; lockers are available at some facilities at your own risk, and money goes to the Inmate Trust Fund, never through the visit.
Scheduling: Connecticut runs a unified system, so these rules cover both pretrial and sentenced people, and days and hours are set by each facility. Since 2024, general-population in-person visits at most facilities are first come, first served, while visits for restrictive-status inmates and all video visits are scheduled through the DOC online request form.

Overview

Corrigan Correctional Center, in Uncasville (in the town of Montville), is a Level 3/4 facility holding both people awaiting trial and sentenced men — Connecticut’s unified system means one facility does both jobs. It opened in 1994 and serves as the pretrial intake center for the Superior Courts in Danielson, New London, Norwich, and Windham. As of mid-2026 it held about 670 men (roughly 390 sentenced and 270 awaiting trial). It was formerly called Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center; the separate Radgowski building closed in October 2021 amid a falling state prison population, and the facility now operates as Corrigan Correctional Center.

What Makes Corrigan Different

It is both a jail and a prison, holding people before trial and after sentencing — so the visiting rules depend on a person’s status and housing unit.
It is the pretrial intake point for eastern Connecticut, serving the Danielson, New London, Norwich, and Windham courts.
The Radgowski building closed in 2021, and the facility was renamed Corrigan Correctional Center.
Many visits are non-contact. Pretrial, protective-custody, and restrictive-housing visits are typically through glass; general-population visits are generally contact.
