Who can visit an inmate at Berks County Jail: how the approved visitor list works

Solo puedes visitar a alguien en Berks County Jail si estás en su lista de visitas aprobadas. No hay excepciones. Incluso los familiares cercanos y amigos de largo tiempo deben estar incluidos y aprobados primero.

La lista de visitantes aprobados está controlada por la persona recluida. La persona recluida debe solicitar que se agregue tu nombre - Treatment Staff no te agregará solo porque tú lo pidas. ¿Tratas de ayudar a que otra persona visite? Se aplica la misma regla. La persona recluida necesita solicitar cada adición.

Una regla de elegibilidad sorprende a la gente: si has estado encarcelado en el Berks County Jail System en los últimos dos años, no se te permitirá visitar. Si ese es tu caso, planea mantener el contacto por otros medios.

1. Have the inmate request you - the inmate must ask to add you to their approved visitation list; Treatment Staff can’t add you just because you request it.
2. Call to schedule once you’re approved - schedule by calling (610) 208-4800, selecting option 3 for “visitation,” and speaking with a receptionist.
3. Call during the scheduling window - the scheduling line is available Monday–Friday, 8:30am–3:00pm.
4. Meet the deadline - visits must be scheduled no later than 3:00pm the day prior to the visit; same-day appointments are not permitted.
5. Plan ahead if you can - appointments may be made up to three weeks in advance.
