ODRC – Madison Correctional Institution (MACI) basic information to help guide you through what you can do for your inmate while they are incarcerated. The facility's direct contact number: 740-852-9777
This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Madison Correctional located at 1852 OH-56 in London, OH are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.
Unique Programs
Faith-Based Reentry Dorm is a collaborative initiative and includes the following ministries: Alpha, Celebrate Recovery, Evangelism Explosion, Prison Fellowship, and Promise Keepers. We have several volunteer ministries as well, offering group and individual mentoring. Faith-Based housing is also available for the men upon their release.
Reading Room – The reading rooms encourage family literacy by providing a pleasant and comfortable setting for both child and incarcerated parent. Each room is stocked with a wide variety of children’s books and has an inmate narrator who reads to the visiting children twice a day. The role of the inmate narrator is to read picture books to the children in much the same manner that children’s hour would be done at a public library. A variety of arts and craft supplies for the children are also available in most of the rooms. Many of the supplies and books are donated by employees and service organizations.

visitation Info
ODRC – Madison Correctional Institution – Visitation
Visitation days are based on the inmate’s institution number. Inmate numbers ending with an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) will visit on the even numbered dates of the month. Inmate numbers ending with an odd number (1,3,5,7,9) will visit on the odd numbered dates of the month.
Visitation periods are “split sessions” with each session counted as a single visit for the month. For example:
- 1st visitation session – 8a.m. to 11:15 am = 1 visit
- 2nd visitation session – 11:45 am to 3 pm = 1 visit
Visitors must arrive before 10 a.m. for the 1st visitation session and 1 p.m. for the 2ndvisitation session.
Only four visitors per inmate can visit at each visitation session. Children aged 2 and above are counted as a visitor toward the total number of visitors regardless of the child’s size.
MaCI will only accept visitors who have a reservation. You will be given a confirmation number once your reservation has been approved. You must have this number the day you arrive to visit for verification purposes.
Our recommended method of making a reservation is by utilizing our online reservation option. This option is available 24/7; however please allow 72 hours for a response from the visiting department. Submit an email to DRC.VisitationMaCI@odrc.state.oh.us with the following information:
- Date & session of visit
- Inmate last name and inmate number
- Complete name of each visitor coming to visit
o Adult visitor(s) full first and last names as it appears on their visit application / State I.D.
o Minors (under the age of 18); full name and relationship (if any) to the inmate.
§ Example:
· Jane Doe + 2 minors (Tom Doe- son and Sue Doe – daughter) to see inmate Doe #A123-456 on 11/15/16 at 12:15 pm.
We hope this process will simplify the visit reservation process for all involved.
Reservations can also be taken from 8 am to 1 pm SUNDAY, MONDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY by calling (740) 852-1411. Visitation is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, and all state-recognized holidays.

Visits are thirty (30) minutes in duration, but an additional thirty minutes can be scheduled if the kiosk is not scheduled immediately after your scheduled video visit. Video visitation reservations must be made twenty-four (24) hours in advance and are subject to first-come, first-serve availability.
An approved visitor is defined as: a visitor that submitted an application for visitation, processing has been completed, and approval by institutional staff has taken place. Any approved visitor may request a video visit. Approved visitors must create an account and register with JPay. When family members register to have a video visit, they are prompted by JPay through a series of steps to achieve their visit. Video visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance of the time that they are requesting.
Video visitation kiosks are available to all general population inmates in their housing units. Inmates in restrictive housing (segregation) are not permitted video visits. All visitation rules and regulations for video visitation are the same as institutional visits. Violation of visiting rules during video visitation might result in a loss of visiting privileges. All video visits are monitored, recorded, and/or reviewed after the video visit session. Video visitation is limited to only approved and tentatively approved visitors. Video visits might be stopped if a violation of visiting rules is observed.
