Question Posted Saturday December 30 2006, 10:22 am
my friend is in jail and i really want to go see him but i have no idea how...my parents would never let me go visit him but i have friends who are 18+. do i need someone to be 18 years or older to go with me? do i need to make an appointment? and how much trouble could i get in if i lied and told the officers i was his sister just to see him?

Its probably best to call ahead and find out if you can see him. I do think you will have to be accompanied by an adult. When you call ask about the rules because they can be pretty strict even with visitors.

You best bet is contact someone who has visited him and ask them how they went about it. His family might be a good place to start. If nothing else, they will likely have his mailing address so you could send a letter.
If you lied and said you were his sister... I'm not sure how much trouble you would get in. But it would defiantly be enough trouble that they would call your parents and tell them what you had done. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
