Bryce: I was told it took anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes from them to check in. They were upstairs on a monitor and we were underground on another monitor in our PODS.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Nancy: Outside visitors sat at a video-screen cubicle(with no door)right at check-in area.(inmates can see other visitors walking past on monitor).Inmates sat at video-screen attached to wall in each pod(no privacy).30min maximum visit,time starts when either party picks up phone(even if the other isn't seated yet).Phones cut-out,only see face via "tv")
Bryce: All visits were visual monitor visits with a phone attached. The visitor would be upstairs by the court room on a monitor, while the inmate would be on another monitor in there POD. The monitors lagged, and cut in and out. Was hard to hear the visitor, and see them.
