Searches All visitors and materials entering or on the grounds of any department correctional facility are subject to search. Material searches of visitors will be routinely conducted by metal detector, where applicable. Visitors may be pat searched when reasonable suspicion exists or when the visitor fails to pass through the metal detector, where applicable. Visitors may decline to be searched. However, they will be denied the visit and may be banned from future visits.
All facilities reserve the right to refuse visiting privileges for security reasons.
Visits Contact Visits Contact visits mean the visitor may visit the offender in the visiting room or other defined area. Refer to each facility's web site for specific information. Non-contact visits have to be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Offenders and visitors who have violated the rules during contact visiting may be required to visit on non-contact status. Visitors who are unable to successfully clear the metal detector or who decline a search may be required to visit on non-contact status.
