Segregation/RHU inmate visits will be non-contact only and scheduled at least seven (7) days in advance. Due to limited space for visiting, a rotational schedule may be established based on the last digit of the inmate's institutional number with odd numbers being permitted to receive a visit on one day and even numbers being permitted to visit on the other weekend day. The schedule will be posted to the inmate population, but it is recommended that you contact the facility prior to your visit to determine which day the inmate being visited is permitted to receive visits that weekend.

Visitors are rotated on a first-in/first-out basis with a two (2) hour minimum visit per scheduled visiting day, but may be permitted to stay longer if space is available.

An official photo identification card must be presented by adult visitors (18+) when visiting the facility. A Certificate of Birth and Social Security Card is required for each individual under eighteen (18) years of age and they must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or an approved adult having a notarized authorization from the parent or guardian granting permission for them to enter a correctional facility.

An adult visitor can bring only their vehicle key and up to $40 (one dollar bills or coins) into the visiting area for use in the vending machines. A visitor with an infant is permitted to bring three diapers; two clear plastic bottles; powered formula in a clear container; one pacifier; one blanket; two plastic containers of baby food; one plastic spoon and a reasonable amount of baby wipes in a clear bag into the visiting room.
