Gunnison Visitation Update

Following a post-Christmas Day lockdown that prevented facility-wide visitation at the Gunnison prison last weekend, most operations will return to normal in time for Friday's (Jan. 1) visitation to resume. The exception will be the Cedar facility, which will not be able to visit and will remain on a modified lockdown through the weekend. Make sure you know the section in which your inmate is housed before coming to visit. If the inmate is housed in the Cedar facility, you will not be able to visit this weekend.
