What Happens If You Break the Rules During a Visit at Charles B. Webster Detention Center
Break the visitation rules at Charles B. Webster Detention Center and your visit ends immediately—plus you could lose the right to visit entirely. Here's what trips people up most often, and how quickly suspensions can escalate.
Rules Overview
- ✓ Wear shoes and a shirt.
- ✓ Don’t wear suggestive or provocative clothing, including see-through fabrics (sheer), halter or tube tops, tank tops, short shorts, low-cut blouses, mini-skirts, or tight-fitting pants or shirts.
Cell phones and recording devices aren't allowed in the video visitation area. Leave your phone somewhere secure before entering - don't assume you can keep it in your pocket during the visit.
- ✓ Don’t smoke in the video visitation area.
- ✓ Don’t eat or drink in the video visitation area.
Violate the rules and staff can cancel your visit on the spot. You may also lose future visitation privileges - sometimes for weeks, sometimes permanently, depending on the violation and your history.
Example: Bringing a cell phone into the video visitation area, or smoking, eating, or drinking there, can get your visit ended immediately.
If your visitation privileges are suspended for a first offense, the suspension is one month.
A second offense results in a three-month suspension of visitation privileges.
A third offense leads to a permanent suspension of visitation privileges.
- Leave your phone behind - Don’t bring a cell phone into the video visitation area, and don’t bring anything that could be considered an electronic recording device.
- Skip food and drinks - Eating and drinking aren’t permitted in the video visitation area, so finish snacks and beverages before you go in.
- Don’t smoke - Smoking also isn’t permitted in the video visitation area.
- Start with the basics - Wear shoes and a shirt.
- Dress conservatively - Avoid suggestive or provocative clothing such as see-through fabrics, tank tops, short shorts, low-cut blouses, mini-skirts, and tight-fitting pants or shirts.
Reminder: One violation can end today's visit and suspend future ones - one month for a first offense, three months for a second, permanent for a third. Two minutes checking what you're wearing and carrying can save you months of missed visits.
