Interview with Hillary, Tye, Eva, Richard and Victor

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Hillary: Every other day. 30 minutes at a time.
Tye: two visits a week - never had any visitors so i thionk it was 2
Eva: u could recieve visits twice a week in echo and once a week in the alpha blocks
Richard: depending what unit y ou were in, if you are in towers you can receive a visit every other day, in d c you get 2-4 visits depending,
Victor: at first 4 times per week. then 6days per week. then finally every oter odd day.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Hillary: Visitors have to call and set up appointments.
Tye: i dont know i never got any visits. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Eva: not really however the visiting screens to the monitors were always messed up either to dark or all one color so it was always hard to see your visitor and for your visitor to see u. when a complaint was given the officers always were rude to the visitor and they would just have to deal with it
Richard: someone who knows you are in there, then they have to call in, be put on hold from 30-90min easily, then drive all the way down las vegas st
Victor: The process was time consuming. Inefficient and there was no provsion to assist handicap peple which was my mother. She was on crutches and she received no consideration

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Hillary: Just a video monitor, and you have a phone to talk into.
Tye: in min and med they have closed circuit tgv screens and phone sets for visits in max they only have a glass square the size of an enveloope and a grate to speak through. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Eva: as stated in previous answer the visiting area was always havein problems with the monitors and they would always start the timer prior to notifying the inmate of the visit so a 20 minute visit was always cut by 5-10minutes because the block officer would take their time to call for visits or visiting would golly lag in calling the block for inmate visits
Richard: Its a computer screen you talk in a phone, and it doesnt show how long you got left, so it cuts off in 30min automatically, so you're talking and bam theyre gone and you have to wait for next visit or pricey phone call to even continue what you were saying
Victor: Dirty. Annoyingly inconsistent with dress code. Echo chamber. The staff is for the most part very rude. After all we are innocent until proven guilty but visitors are treated like they are the guilty ones. Noone bothers to be helpful at all. The Screens sometimes have timers and some don't. Timers started before inmates show up... and TOO CROWDED. Three people per visit is rediculous. Noone monitors how LOUD visitors speak and it makes it impossble to hear! It's just a degrading experience.
