How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Regular visiting hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Each inmate can only receive visits on one of those days per week. Need a special visit outside regular hours? You'll need to request an appointment and get staff approval first. All visitors must complete the facility's visitor form and meet eligibility requirements. People on probation or parole cannot visit, and neither can anyone who is a victim, co-defendant, or potential witness in the inmate's case. Start the approval process early since scheduling takes time. Bring photo ID, expect routine screening at check-in, and follow staff instructions to avoid having your visit canceled.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
