JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you? Charles: Didn't have a visitor. Rich: yes you have to get there at least 15 before
time or you cannot visit. i have visited other
inmates since my release Kevin: No, they simply told the officer who they were
there to visit, showed their form of
identification and waited until it was time to
come back. My girlfriends liked the officers and
thought they were very friendly and talked to
several of them that she became acquainted with
while waiting. Molly: no Jeremy: Yes Chad: you must be on the list and arrive 30 minutes
prior to the visit Laura: again i was there for 2 days and 1night. I didnt have an
the chance to get any of thid infornation. if i could
guess they probably did take there time
JM: What was the visiting environment like? Charles: I wouldn't know. Rich: it was clean but very noisy and crowded. you sit
on a metal stool and talk on a phone and there
is a solid glass wall between you and the
visitor so contact is impossible Kevin: There were several tables with four chairs each
and a door on either side of the room, one that
the visitor entered through and the other I
entered through. There was a window that we were
watched through in the control room. Molly: glass with phones Jeremy: Through a glass window with telephones that
performed very poorly and were full of defects Chad: through glass, spoke over a phone Laura: im not sure i didnt get the chance to have any visitors.
Im not real sure how tge area was what it was like.

had no plans on having any visitors or being there long
enough to do so.
