Visitation: Connecting for Reintegration

The Owerri Custodial Centre recognizes that maintaining strong family and community ties is crucial for an inmate's successful rehabilitation and eventual reintegration into society. Our visitation process is designed to support these vital connections, allowing inmates to receive emotional support and encouragement from loved ones. However, to ensure the safety and security of all staff, visitors, and inmates, these visits must be conducted under strict institutional rules and adherence to the official schedule. We appreciate the cooperation of all visitors in making this essential aspect of the correctional process safe and meaningful.

All individuals wishing to visit an inmate must strictly comply with the established security protocols, which include mandatory presentation of a valid government-issued photo identification and undergoing a thorough physical search and screening. The introduction of any contraband—including mobile phones, weapons, cash, or illicit substances—is a serious felony that will result in immediate arrest and prosecution. Please review the official visitation schedule and the detailed list of prohibited items before planning your trip to ensure your visit is approved and proceeds smoothly.
