Attorney Visits

Attorneys visits will not be considered as part of the offender's regular visitation schedule and these visitors need not be on the visitation list. All attorney visits are schedule by the Facility Litigation Liaison.

Availability of space, security and safety of the facility determines if a special area may be set aside for attorney-client visits. If space is available, arrangements also may be made to allow clergy or approved spiritual advisors to have a separate space, outside of the regular visiting room/area, to meet with the incarcerated individual. In both cases, such space shall be observable by staff; however, staff shall not listen to the conversations.

    • About Plainfield Correctional Facility

    Established in 1964 as the Indiana Youth Center, the Plainfield Correctional Facility now has a capacity to hold more than 1,600 incarcerated individuals in dormitory housing.
