JM: How often could you receive visitors? Ralph: you can have visitors every weekend Rachel: I never wanted any, i was too ashamed. I did t pay attention
to the schedule Fred: i believe visitors were welcome once a week, of
course they would have to call and setup an appt.. Craig: Im not entirely sure, but I belive it was either
once or twice a week. Joe: I didnt receive any visitors except from an
attorney, they are allowed to see you physically.
I believe for fmily and friends they either need
to call in or setup a visit online, I believe it
takes a week. I believe you are allowed two visits
per week and those are done through videophones.
JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you? Ralph: no Rachel: Not sure Fred: no not from what i understand, you make an appt
and then sign a paper or waiver to see the inmate
you either are behind glass or over an intercom
via video screen Craig: I didn't have any visitors, so I can't say for
sure. I don't get visits while Im in jail.
Alright! 6 words left! Woo hoo! Joe: I believe it was lengthy. When I had several
visits from my attorney, he said that it took him
the better part of an hour for them to get me in
there.
JM: What was the visiting environment like? Ralph: through a tv monitor, so not very good Rachel: They are on monitors. No physical contact, very impersonal Fred: the visiting environment was actually right
outside the pod that i was currently in so i
really dont have an opinion of it. Other then it
was over video and not in person so that was kind
of hard to accept because its like your a danger
or risk no matter what u did to get in there in
the first place. Craig: So now I gotta write 50 words about a visiting
area I didn't visit because I didn't have any
visitors, and this survey has no default option
to take into consideration that someone who was
once incarcerated may NOT have had any visitors
during their time being locked up. *sigh* Joe: There is no visiting area setup for inmates to
meet physically with their friends or relatives.
The room on the videophone appears to be
sufficient and you are allowed 2 or 3 visitors at
a time. You will have to communicate with them
through a video phone.It is very impersonal and
your conversation is monitored.
