Visitor Policy

Interview with Ron and JM

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Ron: Once a week for 2 hours, if the monitors were not broken, if they were down it became diffuclt to get an appointment. And it was all over a computer monitor and telephone. There was 4 in the dorm and 23 in the visitors room.
JM: Once a week for two hours. Visitation started on Thursday and went through Sunday.

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Ron: Not as long as they only brought what they were suppose to, and had everything out and ready.
JM: Not too long. They had to sign up for a spot before hand, and mostly had to sign in showing an ID.

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Ron: Sometimes loud, depending on how busy they were. And sometimes just a pain because you would have to jump from monitor to monitor to figure out which one would work.
JM: It's done over video monitor that is being recorded. The low security pod is given personal visits which are far nicer.
