Visiting schedule
Typical hours from the facility's visiting regulations.
Visiting days depend on their housing unit
Housing units are grouped and rotate which day (Saturday, Sunday, or Monday) they visit on; at the Camp, two units (I and J) swap Saturday/Sunday visiting every week. Ask the unit team which day applies to your inmate.
Before you book anything, ask your loved one which day and time they're assigned — by phone, email or letter — and confirm it with the facility. The calendar shows every possible visiting day at this facility, not necessarily theirs.
