The Visitation Process

There are certain visitation times that have been put in place by the staff at this jail facility. Therefore, as long as an inmate does not have a court order that forbids any visitations, inmates can have visits from family and loved ones during their scheduled visitation times. In fact, inmates are asked quickly after being booked to fill out an inmate visitation form to begin receiving visits from people who are not family. They are given space for five friends that can visit. Attorneys can see incarcerated individuals any time of the day or week. However, a bar card is required to enter.

You are only allowed to enter the facility with your car keys and identification, so it is important that you do not bring any other items inside with you. A typical visit lasts around 20 minutes.
