Visiting With Children at Mini-Cassia: Supervision Rules & What to Expect
Bringing kids to Mini-Cassia can go smoothly—but the expectations are strict. Here's what supervision looks like, what your child can't bring in, and what happens if rules aren't followed.
If you bring children to Mini-Cassia, they must be supervised at all times. Stay close, keep them with you, and be ready to step in quickly if they get restless or start wandering.
Supervision also means helping your child follow the same rules as everyone else. Mini-Cassia expects visits to stay calm and controlled - the adult who brings a child is responsible for keeping things on track.
Mini-Cassia expects everyone - offenders and visitors - to behave in a quiet, orderly, and dignified manner. With kids, that usually means simple things: keeping voices low, staying respectful, and correcting behavior quickly before the visit becomes disruptive.
Plan your group size: Mini-Cassia allows no more than two adults to visit a single inmate at one time.
Prohibited Items
- ✓ Music players
- ✓ MP3 players
- ✓ Video games
- ✓ Electric toy cars
- ✓ Other electronic toys
- ✓ Cell phones
- ✓ Cameras
- ✓ Food or drink (inside the lobby)
If you don't follow the visiting rules, you can be asked to leave immediately. This includes situations where a child's behavior or a prohibited item becomes a problem and isn't corrected right away.
Violations can carry consequences beyond that day. Mini-Cassia says failing to follow rules may lead to denial of future visits and disciplinary action - so treat the expectations seriously, even if an issue feels minor in the moment.
Preparation Checklist
- ✓ Decide who will supervise the children the entire time (kids must be supervised at all times)
- ✓ Keep the visit quiet, orderly, and dignified - step in early if a child is getting loud or disruptive
- ✓ Plan around the limit of no more than two adults visiting a single inmate at one time
- ✓ Leave all electronic entertainment for kids at home (music/MP3 players, video games, electric toy cars, and other electronic toys)
- ✓ Leave cell phones out of the lobby
- ✓ Leave cameras out of the lobby
- ✓ Don’t bring food or drinks into the lobby
Reminder: Following the rules protects your visit - violations can mean being asked to leave immediately and may also lead to future visit denial or disciplinary action.
