Official Work Center and FAQ pages identify 1720 South Church Street. Lobby hours are 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. daily, with Saturday and Sunday lunch closure 11:00 a.m.–noon.
Visiting and calls
Apply and receive approval before booking an onsite video-monitor visit. The published rules do not establish a home-video service.
Approval and appointment
Submit the visitation application at reception with ID for copying. The visitation page requests a driver's license; the FAQ says valid state-issued identification. Call first if you use another form of ID. Allow 3–4 business days before asking for approval status, then book at least 24 hours ahead.
A background check is required. The published rules exclude people incarcerated at this center within the preceding six months; some visitors may require superintendent authorization.

Visit format and schedule
Two visits are allowed each week. Most slots run for one hour; the first (8:15–9:00 a.m.) and last (3:00–3:45 p.m.) run for 45 minutes. There is no 11:00 a.m.–noon slot. Arriving late shortens the visit.
Visits use video monitors onsite. Only one adult at a time can be in the visiting area because seating is limited. Children need a notarized guardian waiver and a non-incarcerated adult present. Phones and other electronic devices are prohibited in the visiting area.

Facility identity and programs
The work center's own FAQ explains its distinct function; adult-detention and juvenile rules are not interchangeable.
Work-center function
The official FAQ distinguishes work centers from prisons and jails: limited sentences are served through manual labor while educational, substance-abuse and vocational needs are addressed under correctional management. Community-service crews are supervised work details, and program eligibility depends on classification, screening and facility-management approval.
