Visitor Policy

Interview with Sam and Ron

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Sam: 2 times a week depends which floor you are on decides the days.
Ron: When I was there you could only receive one visit a week unless you worked for the jail either in commissary or in the kitchen in which case you got 2. However there are 2 separate visiting opportunities per week.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Sam: I don't know.
Ron: I've been on both sides of the process and it really aint too bad.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Sam: You talk through a glass on a phone.
Ron: Pretty rough. It's usually packed so there isnt much privacy. You talk on a phone through glass so it can be very stressful. Walking back from a visit is one of the most depressing feelings ever knowing that your family and friends are going home to continue their lives and you are going back to a cell.
