Rules for Your Visit

Any visitor who is acting inappropriate or appears to be intoxicated will not be allowed to visit any inmate and will be asked to leave the County property.

Visitors and inmates shall conduct themselves in such a manner as not to disturb others at all times. The visiting room officer shall terminate the visit of any visitor or inmate who is disruptive or acting inappropriately.  Visitors are responsible for the conduct of their children. No child will be left unsupervised, or allowed to disrupt the visiting area or distract correctional staff. If a visitor cannot control his/her child, the visit may be terminated.

Visitors who have a problem with visiting should try to resolve the problem immediately with the Shift Supervisor. Visitors who remain dissatisfied with the facility’s response or action may submit a citizen’s complaint.

A visit shall be terminated or disallowed and the inmate and visitor notified that the facility will be enforcing a 90 day restriction on the visitor’s visits with all inmates if any of the following occur
