Visiting Room Overcrowding Policy: In the event that space considerations require termination of visits, the following procedure will be followed:
1) Request voluntary termination from any visitor first.
2) If you had a visit the prior day, you will be asked to leave.
3) If no prior visits, local visits will be asked to leave. A local visit is defined as any visitor within a one hundred (100) mile radius of Cape Vincent.
4) If there are no local visits, a first in, first out policy will be implemented.
Special Considerations: Due to limited space in the Visitor Hospitality Center, visitors who arrive on the bus should be prepared to wait outdoors. Visitors who arrive via personal transportation will park in a designated location and be called from their vehicle to be processed.
