As with previous practices, visitors will only be allowed one 30-minute visit per day. We will not be able to accommodate the 2.5 hours of visitation a week at this time. We will remain within Florida Model Jail Standards as video visitation will assist with the 2.5 hours of visitation per week. 

Visitors must be able to clear security (metal detector), as we intended to follow the same practices as the Department of Corrections and other facilities. 

This means visitors are NOT to wear garments which contain metal including underwire bras, or other items e.g. jewelry, hairpins, etc., as they may cause the metal detector to alert, and/or prevent their admission into the facility. When able, metal items should be removed prior to entering the Detention Facility. All items shall be subject to further search. Individuals with medical devices that would prevent clearing the metal detector must provide documentation.

The dress code will be enforced as follows:

-Blouses and dresses must have at least a short sleeve before adding jackets or sweaters.

-No halter tops, spaghetti straps, or tube tops. 

-Skirts and dresses must be to the knee or below.

-No culottes. 

-No shorts above the knees.

-No rip jeans or pants.

-No body fitted dresses.

-No hats, no bonnets, and no scarfs. 

-No see-through, braless, form-fitting, or revealing clothing (tights etc.).

-No open-throat to midriff blouses or tops.

-Shoes must be secured appropriately to the visitor’s feet (no flipflops).

Only one visitor will be allowed to visit an inmate at a time.  

We currently do not have the capability to allow for visitors to pre-schedule visits. As in the past visits are on a first come basis. We will be prepared to make changes as needed if issues arise.

Visitors will be allocated 30 minutes to visit. 3-5 minutes will be allowed for travel time to and from the designated visitation area. Pod officers will notify the front lobby staff when a visitor's start time is delayed (ex. inmate in the shower).

Each inmate is allowed five (5) thirty (30) minute visits, not exceeding 2 ½ hours per week. Inmates in special housing pods are restricted to two (2) visits per day. Inmate visit times will not exceed two and one-half (2 1/2) hours per week. All inmates that are not currently serving disciplinary confinement time will be allowed the same visitation rights as all other inmates.

Video visitations will still be in effect to allow approved friends, family members, attorneys and clergy of an inmate to connect with them using their computer, Securus Video Visitation app, or on-site. To register for video visitation, visit securustech.net.
