JM: How often could you receive visitors?
CC: 1x a week
Kurt: They had vistors on a regimented schedule based on the letter of your last name. You could only get visits twice a week for half an hour.
Kimberly: You could have visitors 3 days a week for around 1/2 but those vistors had to be approved 48 hours in advanced.
Karen: 2times per week
John: Three times a week if i recall ir went by The letter in your last name dor visiring days
Ashley: I don't know because I never had any visitors come to see me at all
Michelle: I belivee it was two times a week it was for like 15 minutes through a glass window

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
CC: no visits
Kurt: Very lengthy. For a half hour visit there could be a two hour check in.
Kimberly: It could take up to 45 minutes to see you. Before that they have to make sure the person isn't on probation or had any criminal charges against them.
Karen: no
John: I dont recall any complaints about waiting just rudness of officers treating visirors like inmates. I never ebn visited from The free worldso I really dont know
Ashley: never had a visitor I didn't have anyone come and visit me because I had no family here so I would not know about that
Michelle: I believe so they had to stand in line check in then another line to lock their stuff up then go through a metal detector and it wasn't even a face to face through glass

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
CC: dont know
Kurt: Windows with telephones on each side.
Kimberly: I was sitting on side of window and the vistor would be on the other side. We would talk on a phone that you could barely hear. It was also really dirty.
Karen: ok no contact
John: Cool i guess hard questoon ro answer because you want to be as cliae to family as possible you sont tend to look around at The environment. Every visit was montered on large room full of guards inmates and visitors no lol lolprivacy so i guess The environment was horrible
Ashley: never had any visit, I heard it was a very slow process and the visits were very short and brief not long enough the guards were watching all the time sometimes visits would be cut short and end the visit or the visitor would not be allowed to visit or see the inmate
Michelle: It was not that clean at all you had two people in a one man cell so the second person was on a thin matress on the cement floor and when it was over crowded people were in the rec room on a thin matress on the floor no cell it was crazy
