The jail is east of the County Courthouse (1200 Building)
Effective December 5, 2007, Inmate Visitation will be relocated to the front entrance of the jail, north of the current visitation entrance. Signs will lead to Inmate Visitation and Information.
Along with the location change, a new inmate visiting procedure will occur, with inmate visits scheduled on an APPOINTMENT BASIS ONLY. The inmate will submit a visiting request at least 3 days prior to the requested visit, to allow time for processing. Visitors are not allowed to schedule visits.
When a visiting appointment is confirmed, it is the inmate's responsibility to notify the visitor of the scheduled appointment. Only ONE VISITOR is allowed per visit. Visitation appointment times during the temporary relocation will be 1:30pm, 2:30pm, 3:30pm, 4:30pm, 5:30pm, 6:30pm, and 7:30pm. There are NO maximum security inmate visits at 4:30pm or 5:30pm.
