Visitation

If you are arranging a clergy visit at Jennifer Road Detention Center, first distinguish between approved clergy and clergy who are not on the approved list. Clergy not on the list must request approval through the ACFA-Security, ACFA-Inmate Services or CFA and have the visit scheduled in advance. Approved clergy may visit daily beginning at 8:30 a.m., with visits ending by 10:00 p.m. A face-to-face professional visit requires separate, express authorization in advance from the ACFA-Security, ACFA-Inmate Services or CFA. Your clergy member must bring valid photo ID and identification verifying their profession, such as certification of ordination. Clergy who are also family members of the incarcerated person do not receive professional visiting privileges.

Communication

If your family member or friend arrives at Jennifer Road Detention Center, they are permitted a collect call before and/or after booking to contact an attorney, bondsman, friend or relative. In Receiving, booking staff gather personal and emergency-contact information, store personal property, and issue institutional clothing and linens. Medical staff also screen each person before they leave Receiving to identify any need for immediate care or special housing. Most people then move to intake housing. Usually within 72 hours, a Correctional Program Specialist or Case Manager conducts an intake interview. Classification assigns a custody level to both pretrial and sentenced people. For sentenced people, the interview information also helps determine eligibility for transfer to Ordnance Road Correctional Center and participation in programs.
