On-site visiting runs Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Online visits are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Each detainee gets one one-hour visit per week, with a maximum of two visitors at a time (children count toward that limit).

Visits can pause for meals, shift changes, or lockdowns. Bring a photo ID for check-in. Staff will let you know if your clothing doesn't meet the dress code.
