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 oversees each county's jail, which means they set the visitation rules. To find out if you can visit an inmate outside of regular hours, check your county sheriff's website. If the information isn't available online, call the sheriff's department directly to ask about their policies.
