How Contact Visits Work at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail (what physical contact is allowed)
Contact visits offer the closest kind of in-person visit available, but they still come with strict limits on physical contact. Here's what "Contact" actually means at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail, what you can and can't do during the visit, and when contact privileges might be restricted.
When scheduling a visit online, you may see "Contact" listed as its own visit type, separate from Regular and Video/Tablet visits. Don't see the Contact option? Availability depends on your relationship to the incarcerated person, how the visitation area is designed, and whether their visitation privileges allow it. Contact visits take place either inside the unit in a designated visiting area or outside the main building within the fenced perimeter. Where your visit happens depends on how the unit is set up and what's available when you arrive.
Physical contact is allowed during a contact visit, but it's limited. You can embrace and kiss once at the beginning of the visit and once at the end.
Holding hands is permitted during the visit, but your hands must stay on top of the table and in full view of staff. Keep any hand-holding clearly visible above the tabletop the whole time to avoid issues.
All visits may be electronically monitored, except for attorney-client visits.
