The Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center has changed their cell phone policy for law enforcement. Effective immediately, cell phones, Blackberries, etc. will not be allowed in the Detention Center at all. I recommend leaving your phone devices in your vehicle prior to going in the front door. You might want to leave most of the items in your pockets in the car and only carry your notebook, ID wallet and car key in with you.

This is their rule and you are a visitor to the facility. It is not up for discussion with their front desk personnel.
