THE QUICKEST ROUTE FROM NYC WAS TO GET ON THE E-TRAIN AND GET OFF AT THE LAST STOP, WORLD TRADE CENTER. AFTER CROSSING TO N.J. ON THE PATH-TRAIN, WHICH COSTS $1.75 EACH WAY, I GOT OFF AT EXCHANGE PLACE. I FOUND MY WAY TO THE #1 BUS TO NEWARK. THIS BUS COSTS $1.35 TO GET TO HACKENSACK AVENUE WHERE THE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IS LOCATED. MAKE SURE TO TELL THE BUS DRIVER TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET TO HACKENSACK AVENUE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME GOING THERE.\r
\r
WHEN I ARRIVED ON A SUNDAY, I WAS INFORMED BY THE OFFICER AT THE LOBBY RECEPTION DESK THAT THERE WERE NO VISITS ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY FOR IMMIGRATION DETAINEES. REGULAR INMATES GET VISITS ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY.\r
\r
THE VISIT FOR IMMIGRATION DETAINEES IS MONDAY THRU THURSDAY, REGISTRATION STARTS AT 8:OOAM FOR THE MORNING VISITS, AND 3:00PM REGISTRATION FOR THE AFTERNOON VISITS. I WAS TOLD THAT VISITS ARE JUST 30 MINUTES, AND IF TWO PEOPLE VISIT THEY HAVE TO SPLIT THE TIME, 15 MINUTES EACH. \r
\r
I DIDN'T GET TO VISIT BUT, I DID MANAGE TO LEAVE MONEY FOR THE PERSON I WENT TO SEE BY USING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ATM MACHINE LOCATED IN THE LOBBY.\r
REMEMBER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO VISIT AN INMATE TO LEAVE MONEY, THERES ANOTHER ONE OF THESE MACHINES IN THE VISITORS WAITING ROOM.\r
\r
THE VISITOR LOCKERS ARE IN THE VISITOR WAITING ROOM. BRING YOUR OWN LOCK BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR CELL PHONE INTO THE VISIT. THE LOCKERS ARE LESS THAN A SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE, SO LEAVE LARGE ITEMS AT HOME...LIKE HANDBAGS. \r
\r
WHEN I WENT TO VISIT THE NEXT DAY, MONDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT ON THE VISITING LIST, I COULD NOT VISIT THE PERSON I WENT TO SEE. \r
\r
TO VISIT AN INMATE AT HUDSON COUNTY CORRECTIONAL CENTER, YOU MUST WRITE A LETTER TO THE INMATE FIRST TO INSURE THAT THE INMATE PUTS YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ON HIS OR HER VISIT CARD. THE RESIDENT SHOULD THEN INFORM THEIR FAMILY WHEN THEIR INFO HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE VISITING AREA. I WOULD WAIT AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE GOING TO VISIT JUST TO BE SURE THE VISIT CARD HAS BEEN PROCESSED.\r
\r
IF YOU WANT TO PRE-PAY FOR AN INMATE TO MAKE PHONE CALLS, CALL GLOBAL: 866-230-7761 OR 1-800-231-0193. VISA , MASTERCARD, OR WESTERN UNION. YOU CAN USE PRE-PAID CREDIT CARDS FROM RITE-AID.\r
\r
BRING YOUR OWN LOCK! BRING YOUR OWN LOCK! BRING YOUR OWN LOCK!!!!\r
\r
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.\r
