Visitor Policy

Interview with Todd


JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Todd: once a week you had visitation and you were in these little booths with glass between you and the visitor and you had to talk to them through a telephone type set up

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Todd: yes they had to be there 30 minutes before and had only a certain day they could call and set up for a visit

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Todd: it was terrible your always glad to see family but just something about having glass separating you from them was a little upsetting and then you only had 30 minutes to visit them so really you dont have much time to talk \to them
