You first stand between two barbed wire gates, which makes you feel eerily trapped. The inside, where you meet an uniformed officer to arrange the visit, is a lot less imposing. The place is no frills, and pretty gulag-looking, with just grays and formica and/or linoleum. There is video to see the inmates, or you may have a face-to-face visit, depending on the inmate and/or circumstances. The bathrooms are large and serviceable, but not super tidy. It's a jail. What do you expect?

OK so visiting a prison can be a little scary to some people. But its not bad. At least at SDCC it…read morewas ok. Let me first give you guys some tips that I found helpful and wish I knew before hand. Make sure you are approved before hand. Otherwise, you ain't getting in. Period. The inmate can send you a form. 1. Bring your approval letter. Not required but let me tell you what happened to me. I had been approved to visit a friend for about 5 years now. I decided to finally visit after all this time. I was told that all I needed to bring was quarters and an I'd. The only problem with this is, if the computers are down ( like they were for my first visit) and you've never visited before, they have no way of checking to see if your approved. So pretty much you've drove or flew from wherever for nothing. I had to have a friend look through my storage back home ( five years ago worth of paperwork) to find the damn approval letter. Then find a fax machine because you can't fax it there. Pissed wasn't the word. By the time it was found the first half of visiting was over. So if you have or can get a copy of an approval letter, bring it just in case. 2. Look over the dress code closely They are very strict. I mean very. Absolutely no blue. Not baby,navy,jean, nothing. No blue jeans either. The inmates wear all blue. So this is the reason for that. Heels can only be 3 inches. No leggings, jegging, none of that. No jackets or shirts with a hood. No plain white t shirts. Check the list on their website. Any questions call before you go. Keep an extra outfit that's super plane in the car just in case. Including shoes too. I wore black jeans and a black shirt just to be safe. 3. Do not speed on that 95 highway!!!! Nevada is ridiculously strict with there laws. That includes traffic violations. The 95 is what you take to get there and believe me when I tell you, those cops are snatching everything in violation. I was only going two miles over the limit and the cop could give 2 f$%&$ about it. I visited sat and Sunday and watched about 6 people get pulled over. 4. Get there early!! There are two sessions. One starts at 700am. The other starts at 1200. They don't let you in til about 710 or 1210 sometimes even 1230. Just depends on the CO. I got there at about 600 on Saturday and was number 2. The waiting area is super small ( no chairs) so better be close to a low number or your gonna stand under someone's armpit. You can stay all day if you come in the morning. Check out is at 3:00pm. And they are sharp on that time. 5.On Sundays, get there even earlier. Some inmates can be visited Fri,sat, and sun. But some its only Sundays. And it gets packed fast! So if you want to be first on sat be there at 6. Sunday, be there at 545. But if you don't mind waiting behind a lady with five kids and they all have to be inspected. Including there birth certificates, do as you please. 6. Bring money!! Only quarters in a see through zip lock bag. If you have some other clear zipper bag that's ok also. You can bring up to $40. The food is expensive so use your money wisley. They have water bottles, Snapple,sodas,coffee,hot wings,breakfast burritos and sandwiches (jimmy dean I believe), chips,cookies,lunchables, and that's all I can remember. There are only 2 microwaves so getting there early is important. Unless he like cold hot wings. Its really easy. All you do is check in and get a form to fill out with the inmates info and your address, name and date. They give you a number and you sit back in your car til about 7:10. They usually call numbers in increments. So like 1-5. 6-10 and so forth. Be curtious to others whose numbers are before you. Usually people will ask whats your number so they can line up accordingly. It only makes sense that number 40 shouldn't be standing in front while 17 is way in the back. Visitors can get ugly if you don't comply. After you check in your keys and pass through a metel detector you walk through a long tunnel and wait to get buzed in. Go in and just sit down . they call by number also. Be expected to take your shoes off, open your mouth, shake your hair, and be patted down. Pockets are checked as well. After that you get buzzed in to go and sit in a caffateria. Go to the area in the right hand corner first in the cafateria where the CO is going to ask you the inmates number so they can locate him and have him sent over. They will then asign you a table while you wait on the inmate. It really looks like a college caffateria. There are vending machines that only visitors can use. Inmates cannot get anything. You have to get it for them. They also have playing cards if that's your thing. You can hug and kiss but for a split second. He obviously can't grab your ass or anything. Keep it pg. You don't want to lose visiting privilages. Holding hands is ok. But that's about it. The staff was really nice when I went. Just listen and follow directions and you won't have any issues.

I drove two hours and spent $50 in gas to see him and then was told for an hour that he was coming after an hour I asked to speak with someone else, who said that he wasn't coming because someone else was stabbed so just because I started crying because my son was very sad, they escorted me out. I then email a visit request a month later saying my visits are suspended for six months because they refused to bring him to his visit and I started crying. I didn't make a scene or anything. I was just very sad for my five-year-old son who wanted to see his dad. How do you treat a single mother with a five year-old son who just wants to see his father that way? These people are heartless. They treat common visitors like inmates! My son's father only got a DUI and got 2 1/2 years, he says there's rats in the ceiling, I'm so glad he's going to the three lakes camp. I don't wanna deal with anybody that works here any more. I will be writing the word in a letter.

They treat them like normal people. The place was clean enough, with cement and stainless steel all around. They have inmate workers roaming around cleaning any messes as they appear, especially after meals. Speaking of which, in the holding area, there's only sack lunches: bologna and cheese sandwiches with mustard packets, apple, plus cookies and milk. How cool is that?! A jail which gives you cookies and milk! If you get to the housing unit (most don't, getting released on their Own Recognizance (OR)), you'll get a hot meal served to you in your cell. Your cell can have up to four people in it. Most units come out of their cell one hour in the morning, afternoon, and at night. There's a big TV in the middle of the room which you can see from most of the cells, even though you might not hear it. The library books are replenished weekly, so that keeps you busy, too. The Commissary selection is wide and varied, but comes just once a week (on Sundays). Your family and friends can order "care packages" from the commissary website. If you're there for more than a couple weeks, there are jobs to be had, cleaning, cooking, and serving meals. This, too, helps pass the time. I'm sure there are much worse places to stay, but the professional officers help elevate the mood and spirits of everyone here.

Updated menu this year which I think was overdue. My only complaint is that there seemed to be some sort of "paranormal activity." There would be nights where my belongings would be moved around and when I requested a room change, the activity would continue. I do think this is something that the paranormal investigators "ghostbusters " should look into. On a more serious note, senior Nagelhught was and continues to be one of the best people I worked with in this program. I'm so grateful that he is there. If you do the right thing he will do his best to help you. Officer Roulou or officer "roo" is also one of the few that seem to make this program feel achievable. It is obvious that he does not hate his job. Officers Mark and louici may seem like jerks but if you prove to them that you are doing your best, they will be some of the faces you look forward to seeing after a long day of work. They are also very kind to some of the cats that ate around. Officer McAllister is probably the most genuine and nicest lady you'll ever meet. She treats you with respect and dignity while still remaining professional and doing her job correctly. You can learn a lot from that woman. Officer Polencia is also one of the best guys we have there and he will always be helpful if you're doing the right thing. Officer Perry is also very kind and you can tell he loves his job and does it well. Officer Mccastle is also a great officer and she will help you to her best ability, while also keeping it straight to the point. Timmis, he seems tough but he just Russian and that's just how they are, aggressive but he still remains to be one of my favorite. And Mr. Payne, thank you so much for being a genuine and decent human being. He is always professional and does his job well. Carrillo is also awesome, thank god he is there. Overall, it was cool but I'm glad I'm out. Your former resident goth/emo/ weirdo and faithful inmate. I really hope I'll never see any of you again under these circumstances.
