Woodbourne takes visits on weekends and weekday holidays, 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, with the latest arrival at 2:00 PM. The August 2026 schedule labels each weekend day Odd or Even by the last digit of the DIN, so most families get one day each weekend. Holidays are open to everyone, and the free state visitor bus serves Woodbourne.
The Woodbourne schedule, revised August 2026, says:
Weekend visits are divided into specific segments of the population by the last digit of the DIN. The odd/even schedule is waived on Holidays.
A DIN ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 is Odd. One ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 is Even, and zero counts as even.
The calendar labels every weekend day, and Saturday and Sunday usually go to different groups, swapping from week to week. Read your day off the dated calendar on the NYSDOCCS Woodbourne page before you travel.
The split is waived on holidays. For the rest of 2026 the Woodbourne calendar marks October 12, November 11, November 26 and December 25 as ALL.
Under the NYSDOCCS visitation update that took effect on 7 September 2026, Woodbourne is one of the prisons that takes visits on weekday holidays.
Visits run 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The latest you can arrive is 2:00 PM, half an hour before the room closes.
If space runs short, NYSDOCCS ends visits in a published order:
Anyone in the Special Housing Unit at Woodbourne is allowed one non-legal visit within a seven-day period.
Three visitors at a time, plus one child under the age of five, who does not count toward the three.
A child of five or older does count, so three adults and a six year old is a group of four and will not fit.
Nothing needs booking for a regular visit. Under NYSDOCCS rules you can visit during visiting hours with proper photo identification, as long as the person inside agrees to the visit.
On a first visit, staff take your photograph for the visitor identification system and you sign a statement agreeing to the visiting rules. Leave time for it before the 2:00 PM cutoff.
Some visitors need advance written approval: people on probation or parole, NYSDOCCS staff, volunteers, contract workers, and anyone with past or pending criminal cases.
Children are straightforward. Their own children can visit without written permission where the parent’s name is on the birth certificate. A child under eighteen visiting without a parent or guardian needs the parent’s written permission.
The prison is at 99 Prison Road, in the hamlet of Woodbourne in the Town of Fallsburg, Sullivan County. Some map listings put it under Fallsburg, and either name finds it.

The free state visitor bus serves Woodbourne, which makes it one of the easier Catskills prisons to reach without a car.
Photo identification for everyone over sixteen, and the visit does not proceed without it.
Phones, bags and electronics stay in the car.
If you are bringing money, the visitor lockbox takes $50 in cash a day in total, however many of you are visiting, and it takes money orders and checks as well.
One weekend day in two belongs to the other group for most families, and weekdays have no visiting outside holidays.
Calls from every New York state prison have been free since August 2025, and letters and photographs land on the days you cannot come. Pigeonly sends both from your phone, addressed to P.O. Box 1000 in Woodbourne with the right ZIP, so the days in between are not silent ones.
