IF EVERYTHING CHECKS IN WELL, I'LL BE GETTING MY FAMILY AT HDSP AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY HAD ANY INFORMATION FOR ME. I'VE HAD FAMILY VISITS AT OTHER PRISONS AND THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PROCEDURES. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR RESPONSES.

WHO ARRIVES FIRST AT THE APARTMENT?
DO I NEED TO TAKE MY ITEMS IN CLEAR BAGS?
CAN I TRADE HYGIENE WITH MY HUSBAND AT THE END OF OUR VISIT?
WHAT TIME DO VISITS END?

As far as I know:::::
You get there first, he gets there after count.
They will put your stuff into clear trash bags if you don't have clear bags.
Except his toothbrush and razor, any hygiene he takes out he can't take back in at all.
I usually just have my hubby use mine and leave his in his cell.
Call HD and ask the Family Visiting officer. And they will give your hubby written instructions when you guys are approved.
Have fun!!

THANKS DENVERSWIFE.

WE'VE BEEN APPROVED FOR VISITING ALREADY. I'M JUST WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION ON OUR DATE. MY HUBBY HAS SENT ALL THE INFO ALREADY BUT IT'S STILL A BIT UNCLEAR. IT SAYS THAT I CAN TAKE SPORTS TYPE BAGS BUT IT IS BETTER JUST TO TAKE CLEAR BAGS? IN SALINAS AND CALIPATRIA I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IN SPORTS TYPE BAGS BUT IN CORCORAN I NEEDED CLEAR BAGS. ABOUT THE HYGIENE, YOUR HUSBAND WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE BACK HIS OWN HYGIENE? THAT PISSES ME OFF! IT'S LIKE THAT IN CORCORAN ALSO. IN CALIPATRIA AND SALINAS THE FVC LET US TRADE HYGIENE AT THE END OF OUR VISIT SO THAT HE HAD NICE NEW STUFF, THEY EVEN LET HIM TAKE MY PURPLE LOOFA BACK TO HIS CELL. :D
