1. How do I know when I can visit someone in jail?

Inmates in holding are not privileged to visitation rights. There are six separate housing classifications for inmates; holding, minimum, medium, maximum, inmate worker, and female. Visitation is based on these classifications. Housing classifications are changed by the detention staff on an ongoing basis. It is up to the inmate to inform visitors of the appropriate time to visit.
