June will be a month of phasing back into normal procedures at the Bradley County Justice Center with social distancing guidelines. This gradual re-open will affect all divisions of the Justice Center, including visitation with inmates, which will resume operations with proper social distancing guidelines on Monday, June 15th.
The visitation lobby will re-open with social distancing guidelines on Monday, June 15 for public visits. Beginning on Monday, June 8, a visitation scheduler will be activated to allow scheduling public visits, which will be treated on a first come, first served basis. In accordance to social distancing, only alternating terminals will be open for use, to allow for necessary space between each user. To ensure scheduled disinfection, each open terminal will operate on a 30-minute visitation policy. The visitation lobby will be open during regular business hours — 8:30 – 4:30 p.m. — with the first available visit beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 9:30 a.m. Each visit to follow will begin every hour on the hour, excluding 12 p.m. while the visitation lobby is closed for employee lunch. With these guidelines in place, there will be six terminals available for up to seven visits a day, which will allow for 42 potential visits each day.
The Sheriff’s Office lobby will continue operating under normal business hours and the Criminal Investigations Division entrance will be re-opened to the public. Both offices encourage the public to call ahead before entering the facilities and will offer any remote assistance available over phone or E-Mail.
