    Each inmate may have visitation from family during approved visitation times, provided there is no court order prohibiting the visitation.  Attorney's visiting inmates may visit at any time (24/7), but will need to provide their bar card for admittance.  As soon as possible, inmates will be asked to complete an inmate visitation form to receive visits from persons who are not family.  They may identify up to 5 friends as visitors.  You will need to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled visitation to check in.  You will need a current, valid, state issued ID to sign in.  Bring only your ID and keys, as they are the only items allowed into the jail.  Visits last 20 minutes.

    Kiosks with the visitation cameras will be available in the facility or you may use your smart phone or tablet device from the comfort of your home, or some other location, to visit your friend or family member incarcerated in our facility.  There will be an additional cost associated with this service. There will be an additional cost associated with this service.
