Visiting Information
Hours:
The Visiting Room is open Friday through Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m and is closed Tuesday through Thursday. In order to be assured of
at least a one-hour visit, visitors should arrive no later than 2:30
p.m. Visitors will not be admitted if they arrive later than 3 p.m.
Rules:
To
be eligible to visit an inmate, an individual must be on the inmate's
approved visiting list. No more than five people may visit an inmate at
any given time. Some discretion is used here on the part of the
Visiting Room personnel regarding younger children. However, to ensure
that no disappointment occurs, it would be wise to limit your group to
five, including children.
All general population inmates will be
permitted one visit per week. A week is defined as running from Monday
through Sunday. If a visit is not used one week, it may not be carried
over to the next. Each visit will be for a minimum time period of one
hour, providing that the visitor arrives no later than 2:30 p.m.
However, if space permits, the visit may extend indefinitely until
closing or until space is needed for additional visits. Visits will be
terminated on a first-in/first-out basis in such cases.
In
addition, all inmates will be permitted one extra visit per calendar
month, which can be used any day of the week except on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday and which follows the same basic rules noted
above and below.
It should be noted that visits cannot be split
up. For instance, a visitor cannot come on Sunday for one-half hour and
then return on Monday for another half-hour. Similarly, if an inmate or
visitor terminates a visit for lunch, the visit may not be continued
after lunch.
Hot and cold drinks, candy and snacks are available
for purchase in the Visiting Room. You may purchase these for the
inmate and eat lunch with him rather than terminate the visit. No other
exchanges are permitted and can be considered attempts to introduce
contraband into the institution. No food or beverage may be taken from
the Visiting Room.
Visiting in the yard adjacent to the Visiting
Room is permitted at the Visiting Room officer's discretion, contingent
upon personnel availability and weather conditions.
Visits for
inmates in restricted housing or who are on visiting restrictions will
be non-contact and will be conducted on Monday through Friday with
immediate family only.
