Reviews by Tori and BMan
JM: Which jail did you visit?
Tori: Rappahannock Regional Jail
BMan: rrj
JM: How long ago was your visit?
Tori: Today 3/5/2013
BMan: 0 minutes
JM: How many times did you visit?
Tori: Tried 3 times, was successful once
BMan: first time
JM: How do you go about making an appointment to see an inmate?
Tori: You can only make the appt online, which was a
real problem for some of the older people who
were there to visit; many of them had no idea
how to make the appt for a visit and the staff
was EXTREMELY rude and uncaring.
BMan: online
JM: How long did check-in process take?
Tori: The website says you must be there 15 minutes
early, but they did not start the check-in
process until the scheduled time. Once it got
going it only took a few minutes.
BMan: too long...supposed to start at a certain
time...but only at the guard's convenience
JM: Were the guards accommodating?
Tori: NO. They were rude and could not have cared
less. There were several of us who had never
visited anyone in jail before and there was no
explanation of what we were expected to do.
There was an elderly lady there who really did
not know what to do and they would not help
her. The only source of info was the other
visitors.
BMan: ????
JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Tori: Dirty, ugly. It is set up for video visitation,
and some of the phones did not work but the
guards did not care and would not move people to
a different booth. There was no explanation of
what we were supposed to do.
BMan: dirty
JM: How long was your visit? Did the guards ever allow you to take extra time?
Tori: The visit is 45 minutes. I finished quickly
once I found out the person I was there to visit
had made bond. I heard from other visitors that
the guards never allow extra time.
BMan: 0 minutes!!!!! the guard MUMBLED over the com
and I had to check what was happening....visit
NOT canceled, but could not visit and could not
schedule another visit until next week
JM: What was the parking situation like?
Tori: The parking was the only thing that was adequate
about the facility.
BMan: really?
JM: What advice would you offer to somebody who is going to visit an inmate in this jail?
Tori: If you have a computer, look at everything on
the website. Talk to other visitors to find out
what you are supposed to do. Don't be surprised -
THIS PLACE IS A SNAKEPIT AND SHOULD BE
CONDEMNED. IT IS TRULY HORRIBLE. I know jail
is not supposed to be a "good" experience but
this is like something from a third world
country.
BMan: get a good attorney
