Lobby kiosk visitation unavailable Jan. 27 due to unsafe travel

A facility posting on Facebook said lobby kiosk inmate visitation will be unavailable on Jan. 27, 2026, because of unsafe travel conditions. The post also said administrative offices will be closed that day.

Lobby kiosk visitation typically allows visitors to schedule and conduct visits with people housed in jails or detention centers through on-site terminals or video links. Facilities use kiosks to manage visitor flow and handle administrative tasks, and a temporary closure can disrupt planned visits and routine business operations.

The announcement affects family members, friends and others who had planned to visit inmates through the lobby kiosk, as well as anyone needing services from the administrative offices. People with scheduled visits should contact the facility through its usual public channels or check its social media page or website for updates and rescheduling information.

Details in the Facebook post were limited. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
