Visiting Guidelines

Effective October 3, 2011 visiting hours for General population offenders are from 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., six (6) days per week, Thursday-Tuesday.  General population visits on  M-T-T-F will no longer have a limit providing space is available, it is not a holiday, and there are no restroom breaks taken. The only exception is children under 8, or those with documented health issues.   General Population offenders who are on Non-Contact Visitation Restrictions may have their visits limited to thirty (30) minutes depending on space available.  General population and L-Unit offenders will only be allowed weekend visits every other weekend, based upon posted schedule and housing unit assignment.  This extension in visiting hours does not affect Segregation and Mental Health visiting hours.

Segregation offenders will only be allowed non-contact visits, and only two visits per month.  Visiting hours are from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., on Tuesdays only.  Offenders may visit for one (1) hour with no extended time or special visits. 

Infirmary offenders, who are physically able, will visit in the Visiting Room and will have the same privileges as the General Population, unless specified by Medical Staff.  Offenders declared by a physician as being unable to go to the Visiting Room will be able to have modified visits in the Infirmary Unit.

Minimum Housing offenders (NCA / L-Unit) visiting hours are from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., two  (2) days per week, Saturday and Sunday, and  will only be allowed weekend visits every other weekend, based upon posted schedule and housing unit assignment.  Evening visitation will be allowed on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM.  The number of visitors at L Dorm is limited to 8 visitors at one time due to space constraints.

Mental Health has four levels of visitation.  Visits may have certain restrictions based on the individual offender’s treatment plans.

  • Level 1 will have non-contact visits from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., on Thursdays only. 
  • Level 2 will be secured in restraints, but will have contact visits from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday’s only or visits on Thursday as listed for level 1,
  • Level 3 will have unrestrained contact visits from 12:00 P.M. until  2:00 P.M., on Wednesday’s only or visits on Thursday as listed for level 1.
  • Level 4 will have visits the same as general population, the only difference is they will be escorted unrestrained to and from the visitation room.

Note:  All visitors on the approved Visiting List may visit the same offender once every fourteen (14) days.  No visitors will be registered to visit the last 60 minutes
           of visiting hours.
