PROFESSIONALS AND CLERGY VISITATION

Professional visitation is a visitor from a legal or medical entity, such as the courts, mental health, or law enforcement.

  • Attorneys or authorized members of their staff

  • Probation and Parole Officers

  • Social Workers

  • Police Officers

  • Mental Health Professionals who are cleared by the jail

  • Clergy who have been cleared by the jail

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Family members may not visit any inmate with whom they are related in a professional capacity.

  • Attorneys must hand deliver legal documents directly to the inmate, or mail directly to the inmate.

  • Clergy visits are on a first come, first serve basis. Clergy are asked to call in advance for the best visitation times.

  • Professional attire is required. All professional visitors must meet the same dress code as regular visitors, with the addition of no shorts.

 
PROCEDURES:

1. You must register with the lobby officer, ensuring that you provide them with your credentials:

2. If you are going to meet with several inmates, you need to provide the lobby staff with a list so that they can coordinate your visit.
