FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at L.V. Hightower Unit?
Visits here usually require the visitor to be on the inmate’s approved visitation list and to follow current scheduling rules. Check the official visitation instructions before traveling, because hours, appointment requirements, and allowed visit types can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting L.V. Hightower Unit?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Follow the dress code and leave prohibited items in your vehicle or at home, as entry may be denied for rule violations.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls. Families usually create an account with the approved phone or video service provider, add funds if required, and wait for the inmate to place an outgoing call or schedule an approved video session.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the inmate’s full name, identification number, and the facility mailing address. Mail is inspected for safety and rule compliance, so do not send cash, prohibited items, or anything that violates facility mail rules.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family members may be able to deposit funds into the inmate’s trust account through approved payment methods, subject to limits and processing times.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at L.V. Hightower Unit?
Bail is normally set by a court for people held before trial in a county jail. Because this facility is a state prison, inmates here are usually serving sentences and are not posted out on bond from this location; questions about a pending case should be directed to the court or county jail that handled the booking.
What happens during the intake process at L.V. Hightower Unit and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake or transfer processing, staff verify identity, review records, assign housing, and complete required screening. Search records may take several hours or longer to update, so an inmate may not appear in the system immediately after arrival.
