INMATE
VISITATION

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

On-site Inmate video visitation will be conducted during the following hours:

Monday-Friday from 8:30am to 10:30am, 1:30pm to 3:45pm, and 7:00pm to 8:30pm.

Saturday-Sunday from 8:30am to 10:30am, 1:30pm to 3:45pm

 

As MRRJ continues to change inmate technology providers, one of the major impacts on the public will be visitation. As many of you know, inmates now have direct access to video visitation from the tablet devices available in their housing units. Over the next two weeks, additional video consoles will be installed in the jail's visitation area for on-site video visitation. This visitation should be more accessible, cost-free (limit 1x week/inmate), and provides more opportunity for visitation on short notice (scheduled minimum of 24 hours in advance). However, face-to-face visits will no longer be scheduled for the public.

 

By changing this operation, different housing units and classifications can meet simultaneously and provide more access for friends and family, at more convenient times. As part of this new system, inmates will also receive one additional free remote video visit per week, in addition to the free phone call and 2 free message credits. These credits renew each Saturday, and cannot be compiled.

 

We understand that these changes will impact families differently, but we hope the increases in availability and access net a positive change for the families, friends, and inmates of the facility.
