:thumbsup: VISITOR REQUIREMENTS

Clearance for Visiting

The inmate is responsible for submitting a Visitor Clearance Form. The inmate will need each visitor’s full name, address, phone number, date of birth and a Government ID number (ex. Drivers License, Passport, Matricula). The completed form is submitted to the jail for clearance. Anyone who has been in custody within the past 60 days, is on parole or formal probation, has a warrant or restraining order prohibiting contact, may not visit.

For an appointment call: (831) 454-2420

Visiting inmates is by appointments only! The appointment must be made with the jail receptionist 24-72 hours in advance. Appointments can be scheduled daily (except holidays), 8 am - 4 pm.

Visiting Rules

Inmates MUST be in custody for 72 hours prior to having any visits. Inmates are allowed two 1 hour visits per week (only one visit per day). The “visiting week” begins on Monday and ends on Sunday.
Visitors MUST arrive and register 30 minutes prior to their scheduled visit to avoid cancellation. Once checked in and visit is called, if you are not in our lobby, the visit is cancelled. Any cancellation or missed appointment will result in the inmate losing that visit for the week. Any visitor canceling or missing a total of 3 visits will be banned from visiting for 30 days.
Each visit may include up to 2 adults and 3 children. Adult visitors MUST present a valid photo ID (ex. Drivers License, Passport, Matricula). A parent or legal guardian MUST accompany visitors under the age of 18. The parent MUST bring the minor’s birth certificate and the legal guardian MUST present court papers showing they are the legal guardian. No Exceptions! (Minors CANNOT be left unattended in the lobby area, parking lot or any other area on the jail grounds).
All visitors MUST be appropriately dressed. (DRESS CODE WILL BE ENFORCED). Attire, which is revealing, offensive, gang related or distracting to others will not be allowed. Shoes and shirts are required. Jail personnel will determine the appropriateness of the clothing.
Misconduct or violation of the jail rules will result in immediate termination of the visit and the possibility of being banned indefinitely.
Visitors will not be allowed to bring ANY property into the visiting room, (ex. purses, pagers, cell phones, etc.) Any visitor who takes a cell phone into the visiting room will be permanently banned. Only 1 (one) key will be allowed. Lockers are available for 25 cents.
All visitors entering the secure area of the jail are subject to being searched. Any person refusing to be searched will be denied the visit and escorted from the facility.
