These procedures are designed to ensure the safety and security of both the detainees and visitors. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in the denial of your visit.<\/p>\n<p>The facility categorizes detainees based on their security classification (Low\/Medium Low, High\/Medium High, Female), and this impacts visiting schedules.  <\/p>\n<h3>Scheduling Family and Friend Visits<\/h3>\n<p>Family and friend visits at the PDC require advance scheduling.  You must send an email to Pdcvisitation@lasallecorrections.com to book a visit.  The available days and times depend on the detainee&#8217;s security classification.  Visiting hours are structured as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Designated Weekdays and Saturdays:<\/strong> Two four-hour blocks are available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sundays:<\/strong> A full day of visiting is permitted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember to plan your visit well in advance to secure a slot, as schedules can fill quickly.  Be sure to include all necessary information in your email to ensure a swift and efficient scheduling process.<\/p>\n<h3>Attorney Visits: In-Person and Virtual Options<\/h3>\n<p>Legal visits to Prairieland Detention follow different procedures than family and friend visits.  The most notable difference is that attorney visits do <strong>not<\/strong> require advance scheduling for in-person visits.<\/p>\n<p>In-person attorney visits operate on a first-come, first-served basis.  The facility is open for in-person visits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Monday-Friday:<\/strong> 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weekends\/Holidays:<\/strong> 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s highly recommended to arrive before 2:45 p.m. to ensure your visit is completed before the 3 p.m. unit count.  A list of pro bono legal organizations is available within the facility for those who need assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The facility also offers virtual attorney visits via video teleconference (VTC) or phone. These require a 24-hour advance notice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scheduling:<\/strong> Email Pdcprograms@lasallecorrections.com or contact by phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Information Required:<\/strong>  You will need to provide the legal representative&#8217;s identification, credentials, client&#8217;s details, and proposed times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Length:<\/strong> Appointments are 45 minutes long, limited to one per detainee per day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attendees:<\/strong> Only legal representatives, assistants, and interpreters are permitted. A security officer will be present during the virtual session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Electronic Exchange of Legal Documents<\/h3>\n<p>For urgent situations, electronic exchange of legal documents is facilitated via email. To ensure your email is processed efficiently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email Address:<\/strong> Use Pdcprograms@lasallecorrections.com<\/li>\n<li><strong>Subject Line:<\/strong> Clearly mark the email as &#8220;Legal Mail.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Information:<\/strong> Include all relevant identifying information for both the attorney and detainee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attachments:<\/strong> Attach all necessary documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the email will be inspected for contraband, the content itself will not be read before delivery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Visit_Types_Consular_and_Clergy\"><\/span>Other Visit Types: Consular and Clergy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Prairieland Detention Facility also allows visits from consular officials and clergy.  However, advance notice is requested in both cases.<\/p>\n<p>Consular officials should bring proper credentials for identification purposes.  Clergy should contact the Chaplain\u2019s Office to arrange a visit.  These visits are handled on a case-by-case basis, ensuring adherence to the facility\u2019s security protocols.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_Protocols_for_All_Visits_Except_Attorney_Visits\"><\/span>Security Protocols for All Visits (Except Attorney Visits)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Security at Prairieland Detention is paramount.  To ensure a safe and orderly environment, all visits (except attorney visits) are subject to strict security protocols:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identification:<\/strong> Adult visitors must present valid photo identification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minor Supervision:<\/strong> Minors must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Searches:<\/strong> All visitors undergo pat-downs, bag checks, and metal detection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prohibited Items:<\/strong> No personal items, electronics, weapons, or contraband are allowed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intoxication:<\/strong> Intoxicated visitors are denied entry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passing Items:<\/strong> Visitors cannot pass items to detainees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recent_Events_at_Prairieland_Detention_Center\"><\/span>Recent Events at Prairieland Detention Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Prairieland Detention Center was recently the target of a significant attack.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of Benjamin Hanil Song, a former U.S. Marine and a key suspect in the July 4th attack on ICE agents at the facility.  This arrest is part of a larger investigation, with fourteen arrests made in total.  Song faces serious charges, including attempted murder of federal agents.  The attack highlights the significant security challenges faced by detention facilities and the determination of law enforcement to bring perpetrators to justice.  The facility houses over 1,000 detainees, including individuals with serious criminal histories and gang affiliations.  The attack underscores the risks faced by law enforcement officers working in such environments. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust security measures in facilities like Prairieland Detention. The high-profile nature of this case emphasizes the ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and security of both staff and detainees.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prairieland_Detention_Facility_PDC_Visitation_FAQs\"><\/span>Prairieland Detention Facility (PDC) Visitation FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>What types of visits are allowed at the Prairieland Detention Facility?<\/h3>\n<p>The PDC allows friend and family visits, attorney visits (in-person and virtual), consular visits, and clergy visits.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I schedule a friend or family visit?<\/h3>\n<p>Friend and family visits require advance scheduling via email to Pdcvisitation@lasallecorrections.com.
