VISITS MY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, AT THE DISCRETION OF AN OFFICER.

Each inmate is allowed 2 visitors at one time.  If a child is at the age where he/she can be held comfortably on a lap; that is permissible and not counted as one of the two visitors.  Otherwise, the child must sit in the chair, and stay seated during the visit.  Children are not allowed to stand, kneel, or lay on the chair.  Children must be kept under control at all times.  Failure to do so will result in the visit being terminated.  All visitor’s hands will remain in their laps during the visit.

Visitors and inmates will remain seated throughout the entire visit.  If you want to leave, signal for an Officer, and they will escort you out.

If an inmate or visitor violates ANY visitation rule, his/her visit will be terminated.  The inmate will be escorted out of the visit room.  The visitor will be warned or banned from visitation, depending on the severity of the violation.  Determination of how long a visitor will be banned for, will be made by the Jail Administrator, or his/her designee.
