Visitation

One hour visits on Saturday and Sunday will start as follows: 

Male inmates:  9 am, 10 am, 1 pm, 6 pm & 7 pm 
Female inmates:  2 pm & 3 pm

Visits begin on the hour.  Visitors should sign in 15 minutes prior to the visit since it takes a few minutes to get the inmate ready for visitation.  Once you leave the visiting room, the visit is terminated and you cannot re-enter. 

Inmates are allowed one (1) visit per weekend with a maximum of four (4) visitors per inmate. 

The NO's

No smoking/tobacco materials, bags, purses, or carried objects in the visiting room. 
No cursing, drinking, alcohol, prescriptions, controlled substances allowed on the property. 
No exchanging of property between visitor and inmate. 
No arguing with staff whatsoever.  Visiting is a privilege, not a right.
