Visiting Wyoming Correctional Facility

Odd or Even, by the Last Digit

The schedule states the rule plainly:

Weekend visits are divided into specific segments of the population by last digit of the DIN. Holidays will be open to all incarcerated individuals with no DIN restrictions.

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.

One Day Each Weekend

The dated Wyoming calendar labels every weekend day Odd or Even, and on almost every weekend Saturday and Sunday go to different groups. Which group gets Saturday changes from week to week.

So plan on one day each weekend, and read that day off the calendar on the NYSDOCCS Wyoming page, revised August 2026, instead of guessing from the weekend before. At the turn of a month the pattern can shift.

Holidays Belong to Everyone

Holidays are open to all, whatever the DIN. For the rest of 2026 the Wyoming 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, Wyoming is one of the prisons that takes visits on weekday holidays.

Hours, and the 2:15 PM Line

Visits run 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM. The latest you can arrive is 2:15 PM, an hour before the room closes.

Wyoming allows one visit per day, so the visit you start is the visit you get that day.

The Lighted Numbers

Wyoming runs a lighted number system in the Visit Hospitality Center, and visitors are processed in order of arrival. Take a number when you get there and watch the board. Arriving early moves you up the queue.

When the Room Is Full

If space runs short, NYSDOCCS ends visits in a published order:

1. Visitors who volunteer to leave.
2. Local visitors, from within 100 miles, once they have been there three hours.
3. Visitors from further away, after three hours.

Visits approved by special permission, and visitors who have not seen the person in six months, are protected from this.

Special Housing

Anyone in the Special Housing Unit at Wyoming is allowed one non-legal visit within a seven-day period, during the normal visiting hours.

Three Visitors, and the Under Fives

Three visitors at a time, plus one child under the age of five, who sits on an adult’s lap and 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.

How a Visit Is Arranged

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 2:15 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.

Getting to Dunbar Road, Not Exchange Street

Wyoming is at 3203 Dunbar Road in the Town of Attica, Wyoming County.

From	Approximate journey
Batavia	About twenty five minutes
Buffalo	About fifty minutes
Rochester	About an hour and a quarter
New York City	About six hours

Attica Correctional Facility is a different prison in the same town, at 639 Exchange Street. It is the name most maps and most people know, and it is the wrong gate for a Wyoming visit. Set the satnav to Dunbar Road.

The free state visitor bus serves Wyoming, which makes the six hours from New York City a lot more manageable.

What to Bring

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.

On the Days That Are Not Yours

One weekend day in two belongs to the other group, 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 501 in Attica with the right ZIP, so the days in between are not silent ones.
