  Tightened Security at Detention Center

     Beginning November 6th, 2007, the Shelby County Detention Center will require a photo ID for anyone visiting an inmate.

     When visitors arrive at the Detention Center, they will be asked to provide a photo ID and sign-in at the Registration Book before such visitation can take place.

     Members of the Clergy are encouraged to visit the inmates.  However, they too will have to provide credentials, photo ID and sign the Registration Book before entry.
