Section 7.52.250. Visiting.

	(a)  Procedures must be designed to permit a comfortable visiting atmosphere. There may not be any physical barriers between a juvenile and the juvenile's visitor. There must be at least two designated visiting times each week with provisions for special visiting to minimize hardship on parents.

Visitors under the age of 18 who are not members of the juvenile's immediate family must have approval to visit from the senior staff member on duty before entering the facility.  
	(b)  Visitation privileges may be denied any person who is intoxicated, attempts to introduce contraband into the facility, or conducts himself or herself in such a way as to be a detrimental influence or to substantially impair the efficiency of any program at the facility.  
	(c)  A juvenile may not be forced to visit with anyone, absent a court order.  
	(d)  Arrangements must be made to provide privacy for visiting attorneys, ministers, and others who request it.
