Visitors are allowed every three months, except in emergencies, such as sick- ness, business transactions, when more frequent visits are allowed. Different members of a family cannot visit on different days of the month. Judges, Sheriffs, Recorders and Members of the Legislature are offici- ally recognized by law and can visit the penitentiary when so disposed. Members of Councils desiring to visit the institution, will be shown the courtesy of seeing whom they desire on application to the warden.
