Operative words

2) Are volunteers still allowed into the jails? Answer- No, not for the time being. MCSO is limiting non-employee access to legal or essential operational personnel only. 3) Are family and friends allowed into the jails for video visitation? Answer- No. Our jail system uses inmate tablet technology for communication with family, friends and other community members. 4) Are legal visits allowed into the jails? Answer- Yes, legal visits are still taking place through glass partitioned rooms... 5) Are you cleaning your jail facilities more than usual? Answer- Yes. MCSO is addressing the appropriate 'high-touch' areas with our cleaning staff and vendor.
