Registered ordained clergy and licensed ministers who are associated with a church, Christian group, or other religious order are eligible to receive a non-contact visit with a member of their congregation incarcerated in the jail. These do not count towards the inmate's two (2) visits per week limit.
The exception is clergy who are an inmate's family member (parent, sibling, spouse, child, grandparent, or grandchild) are not approved for a special clergy visit with the incarcerated family member.
Do not take any electronic equipment (cell phones, computers, etc.) inside the jail.
Clergy are allowed a thirty (30) minute daily visit in the regular visitation rooms during the following times:
- 8:00 - 9:00am
- 11:00am - 12:30pm
- 3:00 - 5:30pm
*Note: Inmate count is at 3:30 daily, length of count varies. All activities cease during this time. As a result ministerial visits may be affected.
