JM: How often could you receive visitors? Henry: I could receive visitors one day per week. I was
permitted to have ten people on my visitation
list. Bob: Once a week. The Delta Dorms had visitation on
Wednesdays from 1pm to 3pm. Cory: I could receive visitors daily, but I only received
visits from my mom every other week,
JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you? Henry: The check in process was lengthy, often spanning
a wait and check in time of 1 hour. Bob: I am not sure as I had no visitors. I do
understand that they run a NCIC check on visitors
and will arrest anyone found to have an
outstanding warrant. Cory: The check in process was long for the first visit.
But every visit after that was not lenghty because
they had her info in the system
JM: What was the visiting environment like? Henry: Visiting was through camera. I would be on one
side of the jail, while my family would on the
other. We could see each other in a monitor
while speaking on a telephone. Bob: I do know that the visits were conducted via a
video link so basically you got to see your
visitor on a tv screen and thats it. Kind of
depressing. Also no one under the age of 18 is
permitted to visit inmates so nobody can see
their children while in the jail unless special
arrangements are made. Also - I believe that if
approved, a special "personal visit" can be
arranged where you can see the visitor in person
but I think very special conditions apply. Cory: The visiting environment was not an actual visit
where i can touch or hug her. It was a glass
separated phone convo or video convo depending on
availability. The phone convo was through a phone
receiver but I can see her through a bullet proof
glass. It was good enough, better than no visit
like most people in jail.
