As most of you know, jail visitation, along with many other activities in the jail, were temporarily suspended during COVID.  We took steps to try and compensate for not doing visitation, such as weekly allowing inmates access to free phone calls to call family in place of the physical visitations.  However, we are happy and excited to announce that starting April 17th, in-person visitation will be starting back up!!  As a reminder, here is how the process works:

Saturday visitation for inmates with last name A-M Call on Thursday prior between 7:30am and 7:30pm to schedule a time

Sunday visitation for inmates with last name N-Z Call on Friday prior between 7:30am and 7:30pm to schedule a time

For visitation starting April 17th, persons wishing to visit will call either on April 15 or 16 depending on the inmate's last name.  Visitations last 20 minutes, and can be scheduled from 9-11am, and 1-4pm.

Please note the rules associated with visiting someone in jail:
