Any contact between visitors and inmates regardless of type, will result in termination of the visit.

Inmates shall be allowed one visit, of at least one hour, per week. Each inmate will be allowed a total of four visitors per table.  At the discretion of the on duty supervisor, family members may swap out with additional visitors during their allotted hour as long as all other visiting requirements are met. Time will not be added to the visit to accommodate visitors over the four person limit.  Additionally, it is the responsibility of the visitors, not security staff, to keep track of their time remaining if they are requesting to share their hour with more than four people.

All visitors will be seated on the side of the table labeled “visitors”.  Minors will remain seated at the table with their parent/guardian. 

Infants and children will not be placed, sit, or stand on top of the tables. 

All approved items brought in by visitors will be placed on the bench next to them or on their person, not on top of the table.  The table top is to remain clear.

Proper identification is required of all visitors to the Lerdo Minimum Facility. Acceptable identification:
  • Valid non-expired Driver’s license with photo
  • Any U.S. state or federal government issued photo identification
  • Photo passport

All visitors shall register at the visiting booth and provide identification. Any visitor without proper identification will  be denied visitation privileges. Proper identification shall be official picture identification. All visitors (16) years and older will be required to have proper identification. All visitors under (18) years of age must be accompanied by an adult (18 years or older) (this adult must be a parent or legal guardian). High school students may use their high school identification cards.

All visitors are expected to abide by the facility rules. Anyone not following these regulations will  lose their visitation privileges. Visiting regulations will be posted in a place accessible to the inmates and the public. Visitors and inmates will visit only at their assigned table. Failure to do so will  result in termination of the visit.

• Identification
• One (1) individual vehicle key and/or remote

Absolutely NO food, gum, drinks, toys, gifts, wallets, purses, cell phones, electronic devices, or money will be allowed in to the visiting yard.  Any visitor bringing in unauthorized items will be asked to leave the facility and return during the inmate’s next eligible visiting time.

Once visitors are admitted in to the visiting area, they will not be allowed to leave and return the same day.  Exiting the visiting yard for any reason indicates the end of the visiting session.
