JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Mish: 3 times a week
Sally: ONCE A DAY ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Pace: 0. did not want them.
Baby: I never got my call to let my husband and children know where I was so they had a missing person report out on me and since orange county drag on my booking imput everyone thought I was dead. Till I bailed out with the money I had on me.I will have to up date you on the next time.
Jamie: fridays saturdays and sundays and some holidays
Gerard: In Orange County, you can only get visitors Friday through Sunday for about 30 minutes per day. At Musick, you can actually sit across a table from your family which is nice because you get to hug them, kiss them and hold their hands.
Jessica: Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Manuel: friday saturday and sunday
Raella: once a day friday, sat, and sun
LKai: Once every Friday/Sat/Sun.
Josie: dont know
George: I could receive them on Saturdays and Sundays, one visit per day for a half hour.
Terry: INMATES CAN GET VISITS UP TO TWICE A WEEK, ON DIFFERENT DAYS, SOME FACILITIES ON GOOD BEHAVIOR THREE.
Miles: I wanna say twice a week for 30 minutes each time, but that might not be accurate.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Mish: No it was very quick
Sally: YES SOMETIMES WHEN IT WAS CROWDED SOMETIMES A 2 HOUR WAIT
Pace: it is extremely lengthy. I have been there.
Baby: Not sure yet heard it is check in 2 3 hour hours ahead of time then you lucky if you get a 30 min visit I will soon see.
Jamie: sometimes
Gerard: I'm not sure.
Jessica: Sometimes
Manuel: like an hour
Raella: not too bad
LKai: I'm not sure.
George: My son said it wasn't that lengthy or that bad at all, while my wife said it was horribly long. We really never figured out how to arrange the visits so they didn't occur when other inmate visits occured.
Terry: THE CHECK IN FOR VISITORS CAN BE LONG ON THOSE DESIRED VISIT DAYS LIKE WEEKENDS, BUT USUALLY THEY HAVE TO BE THERE 15 MINUTES BEFORE CHECK IN AND THAT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACTUAL VISIT, SO AT THE LEAST 30 MINUTE WAIT WITH OUT A LINE.
Miles: The check-in process was lengthy for my visitors. It was not uncommon for them to wait up to two hours before being allowed to see me.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Mish: It wasn't bad. There is contact visits so we got to hug and kiss before and after the visit
Sally: LOUD AND THROUGH A GLASS NO PHYSICAL CONTACT
Pace: miserable for the adults and worse for the children.
Baby: Well I seen my bail bondsman in one 1 1/2 block of glass and a phone that did work
Jamie: for me ok guess
Gerard: Big room with maybe around 30 inmates with their various family members and spouses. No kids allowed (I think). Deputies are usually pretty easy-going in the room.
Jessica: Crowded
Manuel: very tense no touching allow all is done threw a glass window
Raella: nice, I could hear my mom very well and we had at least a half hour, if not more, to talk.
LKai: It was decent. You get a little section to talk to your party via phone.
George: It was a row of cubicle like tables in three hallways back to back. There was a glass partition between me and my wife (or sons) and I spoke through a telephone to them. I could not hand anything to them nor could they hand anything to me. I did sneak pencils with me so I could write down important information.
Terry: IN EVERY FACILITY VISITATION WAS DIFFERENT. IN MAIN JAIL IT WAS A BOOTH WITH GLASS BETWEEN AND A PHONE, HORIZON WAS IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A TABLE IN BETWEEN, YOU COULD ACTUAL TOUCH THEM. NOW ALL VISITATION IN ALL AREAS IS THE SAME...A PHONE AND TV VIDEO FOR YOU AND THEM, ALMOST LIKE WEB CAM CHAT.
Miles: Crowded and loud, and restricted. You had to sit across from each other at a table,and you could not touch. Touching was not a big deal to me because my friends visited and I had no girlfriend at the time, but I see how no touching could be a problem.
