PRISONER VISITATION REGULATIONS

The following rules are designed in the interest of maintaining good order and discipline within the brig as well as your safety and that of the prisoners. Prisoners benefit from frequent visits with family and friends.

2. Visitation outside these hours must be made by special request and is approved only in very unusual circumstances. Visitors must arrive 30 minutes prior for check-in (i.e., 1230). A government-issued picture ID is required. Improperly attired persons will be refused entry. No cameras, personal music devices, food, beverages, or cell phones are permitted.
