Visitor Policy

Interview with Scott, Carrie, John and Sophie

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Scott: twice a week for 30 minutes each visit
Carrie: 2 days a week, and only for 30 minutes each day. I only had two visits my entire stay.
John: I am not sure but since no one knew i was there I did not have any one come see me.
Sophie: twice a week for 30 minutes or once a week for 60 minutes... up to 2 visitors... seen through a glass window and phone to communicate

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Scott: sometimes because they only let so many visitors in at a time
Carrie: I really have no idea. one of my visitors was my lawyer, my other visit was from a rehab worker that I was thinking about attending.
John: I am not sure i am sorry I did not let anyyone know i was in jail so i don't know I know my wife wanted to come see me but I refused
Sophie: I really don't know... my mom complained about "having" to come see me every visiting to make sure I was okay, but she complains about everything

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Scott: you visit behind glass
Carrie: It was upstairs from the pod. you had to pick up the phone to talk and there was glass between you and your visitor. three inmates could be visited at a time. It was hard to hear the people that visited me. As the people sitting next to me trying to visit were loud.
John: I am not sure i am sorry I did not let anyyone know i was in jail so i don't know I know my wifes mom wanted to come see me but I refused to let her see me so I am not sure whats its like I was told people need id and you get an hour behind glass to talk
Sophie: glass between inmates and visitors... talking thru phones after entering in booking number and code so the jail could monitor the conversations... most the phones didn't work so you had to find a phone that worked to be able to talk... metal barstool to sit on while you talk was very uncomfortable
