How Are The Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Suspect's Jailhouse Visits Conducted?

RIVERSIDE, NY — Jailed suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann met with his estranged wife at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility's Riverside location on Wednesday, her attorney confirmed.

Heuermann, who was charged in the deaths of three women, all sex workers whose remains were found at Gilgo Beach, has been housed in the jail since his arrest in July.

Under his incarceration pending his trial, Heuermann is "allowed the same visitations that all other inmates are entitled to," said Suffolk Sheriff Errol Toulon's spokeswoman Victoria DeStefano on Thursday.

While he might be different in terms of the charges that have been brought against him as has been previously said, Heuermann is no different than any other inmate.

Visits are Tuesday to Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., 4 to 5 p.m., 6:45 to 7:45 p.m., and 8:15 to 9:15 p.m. On Saturdays, which are by appointment only, inmates can visit with family and friends from 8:30- to 9:30 a.m., 10 to 11 p.m., 1 to 2 p.m., and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Brief contact is allowed during visits.

If inmates wish to see their attorney, contact booths are provided. Video and phone conferences can also be used.

Here's A Breakdown Of How Visits Are Conducted:

1. All visitors are required to go through a metal detector.

2. Visits are for one hour.

3. The inmate and visitor meet in the presence of officers.

4. Visitors are allowed to embrace once at the beginning and once at the end of the visit.

5. All inmates are searched after visits.

Heuermann's attorney, Michael Brown of Central Islip, has maintained his innocence.

His case is due back in court on Nov. 14.
