How to Visit Facility
Visiting at this facility happens through video visitation. Planning for a video visit (rather than an in-person visit that requires moving an inmate) makes the process smoother.
This facility relies on video visitation to avoid transporting inmates. Your "visit" will likely happen through a video system rather than in a traditional visiting room.
Video visitation also helps reduce contraband entering the facility. Fewer in-person touchpoints mean fewer chances for prohibited items to slip through. Expect the visitation rules to reflect that security focus.
Note: The only confirmed detail is that this facility uses video visitation to reduce inmate transport and prevent contraband. Hours, registration steps, fees, and visit locations aren't included in the available information. Verify those directly with the facility before you go.
Steps-to-follow
- ✓ Plan around video visitation as the primary option, rather than expecting an in-person visit that requires inmate transport.
- ✓ Be ready to follow video-visit procedures that are designed to limit contraband risks.
- ✓ Confirm the current video visitation process with the facility before making travel plans.
Before scheduling a visit, confirm how video visitation works for the person you want to see. Ask whether video visits are available for their housing unit, whether you need approval, and how to schedule. Find out the hours, any limits on visit length or frequency, and what visitor restrictions apply. If you were hoping for an in-person visit, ask whether any exceptions exist and what those requirements look like. Since video visitation is designed to reduce transportation and contraband, policies are security-focused and may change based on operational needs.
Tip: When you call, mention that the facility uses video visitation to reduce inmate transport and prevent contraband. Then ask for their current guidance on scheduling and completing a visit.
