OFFENDER VISITATION
This facility has transitioned to expand offenders visitation availability by allowing the additional use of a new remote video visitation process provided by the offender communications system. This new visitation technology will allow for more visits at more times without the need to travel to the Visitation Center. It does not replace the current onsite visit process, but opens up the availability to visit from a remote site using the internet.
Wednesdays:
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
(By appointment only)
