MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. — The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office says visitation for jail inmates at the Baxter County Detention Center is set to resume on Monday.
Visitation had been discontinued for several months due to the jail expansion project.
Sheriff John Montgomery says the new public lobby area at the detention center is open to the public. In the new lobby area is located the automated kiosk device to give inmates money on their accounts, a vending machine, and a seating area.
When visitation resumes on Monday, October 28, family members will enter the detention center facility through the new front lobby. There will be a jailer stationed in the hallway area to register and process visitors, who will then wait in the lobby area until they are called and it is their turn to visit.
Visitation hours will be as follows:
Monday: Male inmates with last names beginning with A through M, 11 am to 6 pm.
Wednesday: Male inmates with last names beginning with N through Z, 11 am to 6 pm.
Friday: Female inmates, 11 am to 6 pm.
The new housing additions to the detention center will also be opening soon.
