Honor Farm

It is the inmate’s responsibility to check the visiting list, which is posted every half-hour. The officers will not locate an inmate for visiting. If the inmate has chosen to attend class, church, sports programs, movies, etc., he or she has made that choice voluntarily. If the inmate is at his / her work assignment, they will not be allowed to visit. If the inmate fails to show up for any of these reasons, you may return the next day to visit.

Honor Farm inmates may not receive money during visiting. Possession of any amount of money will be grounds for disciplinary action against the inmate. Visitors may contact the records clerk in the 24-hour lobby to place funds on an inmate’s account.

Excessive physical contact is not allowed. An inmate and visitor may:
    • Embrace briefly at the beginning and end of the visit.
    • Kiss briefly at the beginning and end of the visit.
    • Hold hands on top of the table during the visit.

Your use of the visiting room constitutes your knowledge and consent to this monitoring and recording.
