This review is solely for the visitation of an inmate at this facility. I have no idea what goes on…read morebeyond the visitors area. Today was the first time I had ever set foot in any sort of prison. Not going to lie, it was intimidating at times. There are many hoops you have to jump thru during the process but they all seemed reasonable and for good safety reasons. For my safety, for the staff and for the inmates. When i pulled into the facility off the main road there was a checkpoint almost immediately. Every car stops and you have to get out and open the hood and trunk. While I was opening the hood other guards are opening the doors and checking the inside of the car. When my car was cleared I pulled forward a bit and gave my drivers license to another guard where he wrote down my info and license plate number, he also gave me a two digit number to remember and said I would need it when I was leaving, then I was cleared to head to the parking lot. Found a spot and parked, proceeded to the next check in, it was a small booth where I let them know which inmate I was there to see and gave them my drivers license. They checked the computer to confirm I was eligible to visit him and I was on to the next step. At this point, I came to a gate. There was a video camera and a sign under it that read Show ID To Camera. I did, and I heard the gate click and I opened it and proceeded. I was in what's known as a mantrap gate. As I approached the other end of the trap, the gate clicked open. It was at this point the gravity of where I was really set in. It was high fences and razor wire from here on out. I entered a building and got in line. Signed in and gave my ID, which they kept and gave me a numbered metal chip. Then it was off to the metal detector. Similar to an airport, shoes off and empty pockets. Then there was a pat down search and then I was cleared to go start my visit. After the two hour visit it was the exact reverse process leaving. It was a good experience and I was happy to see my friend again. While it was intimidating at times, at no point did I not feel completely safe. All of the staff and guards I spoke to throughout the process were understanding and polite.
