How does visitation work at the Eastern Shore Regional Jail?

Visitation Information - Eastern Shore Regional Jail General Visitation: Visitors, as well as inmates, are required to follow certain rules established for visitation. A copy of the rules for visitation will be posted near the door to the visitation area. Any violation or disturbance that interferes with the operation of the jail during visitation times will result in the termination of visitation for that day. All visitation is non-contact and will be only on assigned days by the Housing Unit. All inmate visitation will start at 9:00am on their assigned days by Housing Unit.

Registration for visitation will begin at 8:00 am and will cut off at 9:00 am. Anyone coming after the cutoff time will not be allowed to visit. Housing Units will visit on the following days: Mondays----A-Block Tuesdays----A-Dorm & B-Dorm Wednesdays----D-Block Thursdays----C-Block Fridays----B-Block Visitation will be for 30 minutes only.

Each inmate gets only one (1) visit per day. All visits will be on a first come first serve basis. If more people come to visit the same person, then they will decide who visits. If they can’t decide who to visit, then we will ask the inmate who they want to see, and that decision is final. All visits will be conducted in the visiting rooms adjacent to the lobby.

If you are caught bringing any of these items into the visitation area, you will lose your future visitation privileges.
