Visitor Policy

Interview with Lisa, Bill, Ron, Cindi and Holly

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Lisa: When I have visited people in jail, I think there are two times a week that I was able to go.
Bill: dont know
Ron: Two 1 hour visit time per week, unless the block was on emergency lockdown, or disorderly lockdown.
Cindi: There are different visiting hours depending on the block. But I was allowed visitors morning and evening, and up to 4 visits a week.
Holly: Once a week you could recieve visitors at the jail and they had to be approved prior to the visit.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Lisa: The check-in process was a cinch.
Ron: I wish I knew, see, I was in jail.
Cindi: I did not ask them how long it took, I do know they have to schedule 3 days in advance and that they had to have ID on them.
Holly: They said that it did take a long time sometimes to get checked in at the jail and it took a long time on my end to get them approved for visitation prior to them visiting.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Lisa: Loud, stale, boring for kids, the booths didn't look clean but the person inside is always glad to see whoever comes and visits.
Ron: Sad
Cindi: It was basically like a skype call. I sat on a screen with a telephone on it in the dorm, and my visitor sat on the other side of an identical screen in what I assume was the visitors lobby and we talked through the phones, and were able to see eachtoher on the screen.
Holly: It was done through a video system, which I thought was awful. The visitor had to come all the way to the jail just to sit and talk to me on a video. It was hard to see them and hear as it was done in the main room in the cellblock.
