Visitation
Inmate visitation is conduction by video visitation every day of the week. Visitation times vary from 6:00 AM to 9:45 PM. Visitation is based on housing units and classification. All visitors must establish a connection request through Smart Communications to the inmate they want to visit. Then they can submit a visitation application through the same website. If approved, the person in-custody will send a visit invitation to the visitor to accept. Otherwise, visits may be scheduled on the incarcerated person’s day use time.
In order to schedule a visit, the visitor must submit their driver's license for identification purposes with their visitation application. The visitation rules are as follows:
1. Visit applicants must upload a readable picture of their photo ID with their visitation application.
2. Inmates may only have two visits per week. Visits are in 15-minute sessions.
3. Inmates may only visit during their day use time after they have been in custody for seven (7) days and are not on disciplinary restrictions.
4. Visitors must be present when a lobby video visit is scheduled, or they will forfeit that visit. Visits scheduled outside of the inmate’s day use time will not be honored.
5. Only two approved visitors will be allowed to visit simultaneously. Both visitors must be approved before visiting.
6. Any visitor who causes a disturbance during the visit or while waiting in the lobby will be asked to leave and their visit will be forfeited.
7. No food, drink, or tobacco products are allowed in the Sheriff’s Office Lobby.
8. No unattended property will be allowed in the lobby.
9. Items a visitor may try to give Sheriff’s Office staff for inmates will not be accepted.
10. Inappropriate behavior (sexually explicit, use of intoxicants, obscene, violent/aggressive, etc.) will not be tolerated.
**Violation of the above rules may result in the banning of the visitor from any future visits**
Persons who will not be approved for visits are;
- Persons on active parole or probation.
- Listed victims of the inmate.
- Persons who have been incarcerated within the last ninety (90) days.
- Visitors who are visibly intoxicated.
- Visitors dressed in inappropriate attire.
