Clergy Visits

Visits by members of the clergy can provide an inmate with needed guidance and advice. The Weber County Correctional Facility welcomes qualified clergy visits to members of their congregation; however, there are certain restrictions and rules that do need to be adhered to.

Requirements to Visit as a Member of the Clergy:

• To schedule the visit, call (801) 778-6702 at least 24 hours in advance.
• You must be the head of the congregation (bishop, pastor, stake president, etc.).
• Proof of clergy status is required at visit.
• One visit per two-week period. (Does not count against inmate visitation limit)

Alternatively, you may schedule a visit through the normal visiting process, which will count against the inmate’s visit allocation.

Religious Access: Inmates may attend religious meetings available in their housing unit and may receive approved religious materials.

Americans With Disabilities Act - Notice and Grievance Procedure

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark civil rights law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various aspects of public life. Its primary aim is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA covers employment, public services, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. It mandates reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, such as wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and modifications in the workplace, ensuring inclusivity and equal access.

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Weber County Jail will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities.
