All visitors must be approved by Jail Administration. All visitors must present proper identification. Visits on the main side of the jail are non-contact with a glass barrier between visitors and inmate. Communication is by telephone. All visits are a minimum of 30 minutes.

Video visits are now available with IC Solutions.
