Phone Calls

Family and friends can deposit funds for inmates to make calls into the account, and inmates can purchase phone time at the commissary.

Visiting Rules

While visits between families, friends and inmates are encouraged, the primary concern is safety, security and good order for visitors and inmates. Visitors must follow certain regulations when visiting an inmate.

In the event of high volume, visits may only be 30 minutes. A maximum of two adults and two children are allowed during one visit.

Preparing for a visit
