Visitation

Inmate visitation occurs on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.  Saturday is reserved for inmates with the last name A-L.  Sunday is reserved for inmates with the last name M-Z.  Each inmate gets two 15 minute visits with an approved person(s) on their visitation list.  The same visitor cannot have both 15 minute time slots.  All visitors must be on the inmate's approved visitation list that is completed and managed solely by the inmate.  We require visitors to present a valid picture ID (driver's license/passport) before being allowed in the video room. Children under the age of 16 do not have to be on the inmate's approved list, however they must visit with an approved adult.  Visits are conducted over the video visitation system.  No contact visits will be allowed except from attorneys representing inmates housed in the facility.

Family and friends that the inmate approves for their visitation list must be courteous and quiet in the lobby during visitation so that all who are having their visitation can communicate without problems. Family and friends are not to bring exotic, erotic, or nude photos or video to show over the video visitation system.

When a visitor comes in for visitation on the weekends they should remain where they can hear their name called.  A reasonable effort will be made to locate the visitor before moving on to the next person in line. If that visitor comes back and wants to continue their visit, they will be moved to the end of the visitation list. 

Families and friends present for visitation are to follow all staff directions at all times. Any incidents of vulgar language, disrespectful behavior and/or inappropriate comments to staff could result in immediate termination of the visitation. If an incident occurs, detention staff will ask those causing problems to exit the detention center and they will file a report with the jail administrator. Anyone refusing to leave is subject to arrest for trespassing and/or termination of visitation participation indefinitely. All incidents will be reviewed by the jail administrator for final determination of visitation access and participation.
