JM: How often could you receive visitors? Scott: You could get visitors twice a week for thirty
minutes each visit forty five minutes for inmate
workers Elna: I'm not sure, they gave us a paper to fill out
about who could visit us but I was only there
overnight. Todd: i don't accept any vivitors other than my attornies Guy: 2 times a week plus hoidays i would have a visitor
about one time a month
JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you? Scott: Yes they usually had to show up two hours
before the visitation began and they had to be
run through ncic to check for warrants Elna: This question isn't applicable to me, I recieved
no visitors. I did however see other inmates
recieve visitation for around a half hour at a
time. Todd: no visitors Guy: not really..just had to have things in order it was
hard on my aunt because she is old and would
somtimes have to walk a long ways to see me
JM: What was the visiting environment like? Scott: Only three inmates could visit in each pod at
each thirty minute intervals. There was a glass
partition between the inmate and the visitors as
you talk through the phone. A lot of times you
were shorted your time because they was late
getting you called to the visitation booth Elna: I walked up to the visitation area on accident
at one point just to see what it looked like.
It was a very small area with metal seats and
thick glass walls. There were phones connected
to each side of the glass wall for the inmate to
converse with their visitor. Todd: talk on phone while looking through glass Guy: it sucked. you were behind glass so you couldn't
touch them and they were hard to hear also had to
talk through a phone even though you were setting
right there. really hard for older people to hear
you. just had to try to make the best of it and be
glad somone showed up to see you.
