Visitor Policy

Interview with Rachel, Paula and Lindsey

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Rachel: WEEKLY, ONCE A WEEK, ONE PERSON.
Paula: Twice (2) per week for only 15 minutes each behind plexigalss with talking required through a phone
Lindsey: Inmates were able to have visitors up to once a week and it was probably he most looked forward to event by everyone.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Rachel: I DO NOT KNOW.
Paula: If you got there early enough the process was easy, but if you came after visitation had already started you could be waiting up to two (2) hours or even be denied visitation for lack of available time
Lindsey: My mom said yes. The have to run your background, pat you down, and you have to arrive a whole hour early just to sit there and wait for the actual vist time to come around.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Rachel: A GROSSLY UNCLEAN ROOM (COMPARED TO THE PODS) WHERE YOU TALKED ON A PHONE, WITH GLASS BETWEEN YOU. NO TOUCHING OR PASSING THINGS.
Paula: Again, visiting was looking through plexiglass talking on a phone. It was only 15 minutes and then you had to wait with other inmates who were also done with their visit until a jail staff officer could escort you back to the pods and cells. You were shackled to and from the visiting room
Lindsey: Just like in the movies. There was glass in between us and we had to talk through a phone. It hurt my mom really bad to have to see me like that and it also made her very angry with me. I missed the birth of my youngest sister because I was in jail
