Professional and Attorney Visitation

  • Do not give the inmate articles containing staples or other metal objects.
  • Do not let an inmate keep pencils or pens.
  • Do not bring food, money, cigarettes, or drugs.
  • All legal material left with an inmate must be inspected by staff.

  • You and your possessions are subject to search before entering the security area.
  • Follow the directions of jail staff and leave when instructed.
  • Introduction of contraband may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.
  • Contact visits may continue during headcount, but visitors cannot leave the visitation room until the count clears.
