Visitation allows one adult visitor per day, who must be on an approved list. Sign up between one hour and 20 minutes before visitation. Each visit is 25 minutes. Valid government-issued photo ID is required. Dress code is enforced: no sleeveless tops, mini-skirts, or transparent clothing. Remote video visitation is available 9 AM to 9 PM through ICSolutions.
