- Aim for the registration window, not just “visiting hours” - registration starts 30 minutes before the listed start time and stops 30 minutes before the listed end time.
- Plan around the once-a-week limit - each inmate gets one 30-minute visit per week, so pick the day you can reliably make.
- Do a quick headcount before you go - only four visitors are allowed per visit, so decide who’s coming ahead of time and make sure everyone has a government-issued photo ID.
