Visitor Policy

Interview with Reggie, Sarah, Brenda, Mike and Will

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Reggie: I think visitation was once a week
Sarah: My attorney came to visit once a day late afternoon. He was pleading daily with Judge Pittman and Judge Stephens to let me out. Other than that, I was told inmates are not allowed to have visitors for the first week.
Brenda: every 2 weeks for 20 min on a TV screen not in person safety reason i guess
Mike: once every two weeks phone calls were your best and worst bet. its not good to hear news in there anyway
Will: We were allowed to see preapproved visitors every other weekend for up to two hours, either on Saturday or Sunday.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Reggie: The visitor had to be on your list and thet had to come and register before visits
Sarah: I have no idea.
Brenda: yes all the time you have to wait for hrs to see your love one and then you got 20 that crazy you should at less get an hrs
Mike: yes , i have my family and friends tell me it was quite a struggle to even speak or try to get close to me
Will: It was lengthy the first time or two but after the CO's knew you and your people, they would relax with the searches and let you have the full time as the time they take checking in and searching your visitors comes out of your visitation time.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Reggie: it is not a contact visit. You speak to the person by monitor
Sarah: My attorney visited me in my cell.
Brenda: you have to see you family and friend on a TV screen you couldn't see them in person which suck if you had kids or babies you couldn't hold your babies or hug them that real hurt they kids and your self then they wonder why you temper out of whack
Mike: a 3.0 megapixel webcam camera. you tell me how that is like... its horrible , you get 30 min. out of 2 weeks to get even a few words thru. its rarely personal other inmates will see your family and loved ones and make remarks wave to them and talk later about it
Will: We had a barb wire fence enclosed grassy area with a few dozen picnic tables. We got to sit and talk for a while without having the guards listen or be near us. Your people were also allowed to bring you in some real food and soda to drink which was superb after eating prison food three times a day. I got smithfields BBQ whenever I could.
