Visitation Guidelines

    CCNO recognizes the significance of visitation to offender morale and the importance of conducting visitation within a format that maintains security.  Visitation with offenders is on a contact or non-contact basis in a secure visiting area.

    All visits are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.  Scheduling is done Monday through Friday, BY THE OFFENDER, through their Case Manager.  All adult visitors will have a background check for warrants prior to entering the CCNO visitation room.  The offender will need your name, date of birth and social security number.  If children will be visiting also, the offender will need their name and date of birth.  Out of state visitors will be required to submit their driver's license number in addition to their social security number and date of birth.

    Visitation hours in the main facility:

Holiday visitation hours may vary.

    Visitation hours for offenders in the Work Release and HITT programs:

Holiday visitation hours may vary.

1. The visitor represents clear and present danger to security.

2. The visitor has a past history of disruptive conduct at the jail.

3. The visitor is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. The visitors refuses to submit to a search or show proper identification or leaves unattended children in the lobby.

5. The offender refuses the visit.

Visitation Rules

1. All visitors are required to register with the Receptionist at least 10 minutes prior to their scheduled visit.  It will be the Shift Commander's discretion only to allow or disallow late visits.

2. All adult visitors must present valid photo identification which includes either their date of birth or social security number.  The visitor will sign a log that states, "I have read the rules and agree to abide by them."  Visitors will be required to wear a visitation pass.

3. During the visit, an offender may visit with a maximum of two adults and three children during the specified visit time.  Only two adults will visit.   The 30-minute visit time will not be split if more than two adults are scheduled.

4. Up to three minors, age 17 years or younger may visit an offender, whether or not they are related, if they are accompanied by their custodial parent or legal guardian.  A Visitation Release for Adult with Minor statement must be signed by the custodial parent or legal guardian giving consent for a minor to accompany a named adult when visiting an offender at the facility.

5. All visitors must pass through a metal detector.  If any visitor fails the metal detector test, they will be subject to a search with a hand-held metal detector.  If the visitor fails then, they will be subject to a frisk search or strip down observation search.

6. Visitors ARE NOT permitted to bring contraband with them into the facility beyond the lobby area.  Lockers are provided in the lobby for such items.   Visitors cannot take anything into visitation.  This includes money, cell phones, tobacco products, pictures, jewelry (excluding wedding bands), food items (gum), mail and NO metal hair clips or hats, etc.  If you leave the visitation room, you cannot return until the next scheduled visit.

7. No items of any type may be passed between an offender and visitor during the visit, including mail.

8. Only such items as legal documents, checks, or other approved documents may be taken into visitation for the inmate's signature.  Such items are to be shown to the receptionist for approval and will then be handed to the visitation officer immediately upon entering the visitation area.
