Visitor Policy

Interview with Jenna, Mel, Bonnie and Ashley

JM: How often could you receive visitors?
Jenna: Twice a week.
Mel: twice a week.
Bonnie: Never, I had visitors turned away after driving over 50 miles to see me. Being a rule that the jail has, it was overruled because appearently the King County Jail measures distance traveled, not by vehicle, but by flight...? I didn't realize we were living in a world where people can fly..
Ashley: I don't know

JM: Was the check-in process lengthy for those who came to see you?
Jenna: No. I never heard complaints from my family.
Mel: no cell phones. if you forgot, you had to rent a locker for 50 cents to put your cell phone in.
Bonnie: Wouldn't know, they were turned away.
Ashley: na

JM: What was the visiting environment like?
Jenna: Small, dirty, but closed in for privacy.
Mel: behind glass, with telephones to talk with.
Bonnie: Smelly, dirty, loud, cold.
Ashley: na

My son is in jail, first time. He is 18 and he's in there for being mal mischief and assault. He was arrested on a Saturday morning and is being released Monday. He's been trying to call me collect on my cell phone but doesn't understand that from jail you can't call cell phones collect - so he has been trying over an over and over with no luck. I'm trying to find the visiting schedule and the whole system sucks - I feel like I'm running in circles. Don't know how or when I can visit him or how to get a hold of him. Please, someone give me some answers.

Don, visitation is typically scheduled by last name, day of the week and the specific facility. For the Regional Justice Center in Kent, see: http://tinyurl.com/6xqa6a and for King County Jail (downtown) call: (206) 296-1234
