Can I as a paralegal or representative of a legal office go and talk to an inmate in county jail?
Full Question:
Can I as a paralegal or other representative of a legal office go and talk to an inmate in county jail at anytime? I have to advise our client of an exparte motion and need signatures. Whom do I ask for, the watch commander, chief, or just go to the front desk? Visiting hours are over and I am new to this thing.

Answer:
The sheriff's department of each county has oversight responsibility of each county's jail. Therefore, visitation rules are made, to a large extent, by the sheriff's department. The answer to your question may be on your county sheriff's website. If it is not, just call the sheriff's department and ask.
