Rappahannock Regional Jail
Professionals/Clergy Visitation
Professional visitation is a visitor from a legal or medical entity, such as the courts, mental health, or law enforcement.
PLEASE NOTE:
· Family members may not visit any inmate with whom they are related in a professional capacity.
· Attorneys must hand deliver legal documents directly to the inmate, or mail directly to the inmate.
· Clergy visits are on a first come, first serve basis. Clergy are asked to call in advance for the best visitation times.
· Professional attire is required. All professional visitors must meet the same dress code as regular visitors, with the addition of no shorts.
PROCEDURES:
· You must register with the lobby officer, ensuring that you provide them with your credentials:
o Photo Identification
o Current Virginia Bar Card
o Organization Identification
· If you are going to meet with several inmates, you need to provide the lobby staff with a list so that they can coordinate your visit.
· You must secure your personal property in the coin-operated lockers, or you may elect to lock your personal property in your vehicle (keys, cigarettes, lighters, money, handbags, pagers, cell phones, etc.)
· You are not permitted to give your client anything other than legal paperwork unless approved by facility officials.
