Visitor Policy

Interview with Bruce, Cherry, Damien and Derrick

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Bruce: every week, you can receive one everyday if you would like to. only on sundays were visits closed
Cherry: I believe they were allowed visitors daily, but I never had anyone come see me.
Damien: I believe they were allowed visitors daily, but I never had anyone come see me.
Derrick: 2 times a week u could have an hour visit from ur freinds and family after they were approved

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Bruce: not really i think my family came in with no problems at all. but i do believe that they do search you. and they give you a locker for your phone
Cherry: I am pretty sure they went through a basic pat down and metal wand but it is pretty generic since it's not prison or maximum security.
Damien: I am pretty sure they went through a basic pat down and metal wand but it is pretty generic since it's not prison or maximum security.
Derrick: Yes it took nearly 30 min for ur family to finally sit down and talk to u threw a phone and glad no actual touch permited

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Bruce: glass windows and a telephone like the ones on the movies that people use. but visit lasted a hour and the time always flew by, before you know it your vist was over. you also could recieve two visit in one day. children weren't allowed, but you could talk on the phone
Cherry: You sat in a cubicle and got to see your loved one on a video monitor and talk to them on the phone while you see them. There was no face to face visits and there was other inmates around you so there was no privacy in the visit and everyone could hear your conversation.
Damien: You sat in a cubicle and got to see your loved one on a video monitor and talk to them on the phone while you see them. There was no face to face visits and there was other inmates around you so there was no privacy in the visit and everyone could hear your conversation.
Derrick: Steel seated and phones between a wired glass window were u could talk to ur family no touch is allowed no actual contact so it's a very cold and draining process to see ur family and it's very hard on ur nerves to wacth them walk away knowing u can't even hug ur mom
