SALT LAKE CITY — For families and friends of loved ones at the Utah State Prison in Draper and Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, visiting will now be possible via video, according to the Utah Department of Corrections (UDC).

All visits must be scheduled two business days in advance and are limited to one per day. Visits canceled because of technical issues, such as power outages, will need to be rescheduled.

Before any prospective visit, visitors need to make sure their visiting applications are current (renewed in the last year) and have sent in a photo ID. To do so, email uspvisiting@utah.gov or cucfvisiting@utah.gov.
