Weekly in-person visits are limited by status, and each visit allows up to five approved visitors. Children under five don't count toward the five-person limit but still need approval. Arrive at least 15 minutes early for processing, and confirm current check-in cutoffs around institutional count times. Bring photo ID if you're 16 or older, follow a conservative dress code, and leave wallets, purses, watches, and cell phones in your vehicle. Lobby lockers accept only ID and car keys. You may bring up to $25 in change in a clear pouch for vending. Don't share food or drinks, and you cannot leave money for persons in custody.
