How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Only the incarcerated person can schedule social visits, and each inmate may have up to four visitors at one time. All visitors must be scheduled. Registration opens 30 minutes before a visiting block starts, and you must enter no later than 30 minutes before the block ends. The Facility Commander can exclude visitors for prior misconduct and is the only official who may suspend visiting privileges (the Classification Unit is notified of suspensions). The Office of the Sheriff may use video-recording devices in visiting areas, except during confidential attorney consultations.
