An intake area has space for 5 additional offenders as they are being booked as well as a recreational room, two library spaces or program rooms, a medical unit to meet all medical needs, laundry facilities, a master control center to monitor the cameras and doors throughout, and a kitchen with a full staff for all meals. Each housing unit has stations for video visits, telephones, televisions, dayroom space, a microwave, gaming tables, and natural lighting. Tablets are provided to each of the offenders during the intake process and this will allow phone calls, video calls, library content, educational programming, and entertainment.
To ensure that you are able to communicate through the use of the tablets, create an account online and you will be able to add money to the account and arrange contact with the inmate that you are intending to contact, provided you are on the approved list and have not been recently incarcerated.
Phones are available only during dayroom hours, and they are limited to 20 minute calls at any time, and an account can be created online.
