Adult visitors must present a photo identification card (e.g., state issued driver’s license, government identification card or military identification card) to be granted entry into the visitation area. For juveniles, the supervising adult is required to bring the child’s birth certificate and a school identification card, if the child possesses a school ID card, to verify the juveniles’s age.

Visitors to the facility are expected to and are REQUIRED TO FOLLOW all posted rules of visitation. The failure of any visitor to abide by these rules will result in denial of the visit.

CELLPHONES, HANDBAGS, OR OTHER ITEMS ARE PROHIBITED. All visitors are subject to search. The failure of a visitor to submit to a search will result in a denied visitation.
