Similar provisions are available for professional vistors (attorneys, investigators, probation officers) to conduct business with inmates. For professional visits, there are individual secured booths to ensure confidentiality issues are not jeopardized. Professional visitors have the choice of meeting with the inmate face-to-face or via the video system.
Video visitation has been well received by the inmates and the public. Waiting times, as well as the crowds, have decreased. Many professional visitors prefer video visitation. They are able to meet with the inmate quickly and do not have to wait to be escorted through secure areas for a face-to-face visit.
