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 want to visit my son's father, they didn't bring him out for his visit because someone else was…read morestabbed, but what does that have to do with my visit? 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.

Ok so i wasnt going to post anything, but this is a prison i totally get it i really do, but of the…read moreofficers should remember that visitors are free people we are not inmates, i do understand the day to day dealing with prisons, i work at ccdc as a nurse, the thing is with SOME, not most of the guards, they forget who they are talking to, it would be different if i myself was rude, but again i am a nurse so i know how to be polite on a bad day, SOME of the officers forget that, some of the vistitors are rude and entitled i get that but not all of us are. I repect the job its not a easy one but when the officers are rude, it doesnt make it any easier for anyone. Its not a good feeling to be searched or even in this place, but I will continue to visit my family regardless if they believe they shouldnt get visits or not. They have a new person at the front shes very nice, perkins is her name shes always very nice, i appreciate that i really do

They treat the family of the inmates like crap, you can't even call here and get info on an inmate…read morewithout them being smug or fast talking you. I get it it's prison not supposed to be fun, but dam the families didn't do the crime. You don't have to treat us like trash because you hate your job. There website also sucks it stays broken, they will direct you to go online. Then when you tell them it's broke they want to say that's not true. This place is a joke.

I need Social Security number right away and trying to file online was going to take almost a month…read moreto get an appointment. I decided to walk in and try my luck. I chose the North Las Vegas location based on a couple of reviews I read, and it was exactly what I had expected reading the reviews. I arrived at 9:15am and was greeted at the front by two lovely ladies. They made sure I had my information correct before I even checked in. I got my number and within 10 minutes I was at a window. Because of my situation I had to be rerouted to a different person to help me. Within 15 minutes I was back at the window. Both the gentlemen behind the windows were super friendly, pleasant and awesome to deal with. The security guard was helping point people in the right direction and friendly. There wasn't a staff member without a smile on their face. I was out of there within an hour of my arrival. I spent the time and made the farther drive and for me it was worth it!!! I recommend doing your research and get your docs in order before showing up, it was such a smooth process.

10am appointment. Arrived at 9am, 150 people in front of me. I expect to wait 3 hours but there…read morearen't enough seats for everyone. This scheduling system is horrible & it's a health hazard. It also shares the office space. I just don't get how The Social Security Office is not equipped for the amount of people they schedule. The Summerlin Office is much more organized. Don't come here if you don't have to. This is the NLV location on Simmons.
