Topic Overviews

Visitation

Visitation at the TL Roach Unit is a privilege, not a guaranteed right. Visits can be restricted, denied, or canceled for rule violations, lockdowns, security incidents, or health emergencies. Options may include in-person visits (contact or non-contact) and remote video or tablet visits. Most non-attorney visits may be monitored or recorded. To get approved, you'll need to create and verify your own online visitation account, then complete a background questionnaire and any required steps before scheduling. Remote video visits are booked through the unit's approved video system, though availability varies. The scheduler may not show dates if the inmate already has a visit that week, and not every visit type is available for every inmate.
