HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Sheriff's Department announced today that they will open up visitation at the Reno County Correctional Facility next week.

Current plans are to reopen starting on May 11. There will still be restrictions for those wanting to visit and the department asks everyone to have patience.

The department says only two visitors will be allowed into the lobby area at a time, this includes children. Once inside the lobby area, visitors should let the staff member know who you are here to visit and hold identification up to the glass so that the information can be seen.

A mask is required and must be furnished by the visitor and each inmate will only be allowed to have one visit per week.

The hours for visitation will be shortened to allow additional cleaning of the visitation area. Those hours are seven days a week from 9:00 until 11:30 a.m. 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. and then 6:30 until 9 p.m.
