The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is allowing in-person visitation to resume at all units in the state, which includes the Pack and Luther Units in Grimes County.
According to a release from TDCJ on Wednesday, anyone on official visitation lists can begin registering face-to-face visitation, which began Wednesday.
Initially, eligible inmates will be allowed two in-person visits per month. To allow for social distancing, visits will consist of one adult visitor. Visits will be one hour in length. Video visits will not count against the number of in-person visits each month.
Visits will need to be scheduled in advance, but visitation times will be expanded to Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 1:00pm to 6:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00am to 5:30pm.
Prior to entry into the facility, visitors will be required to complete a 15-minute rapid COVID-19 test conducted by the agency. They will remain in their vehicles until the test is complete and individuals testing negative will be allowed to proceed into the facility.
Visitations were suspended in March 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
