Has any one ever went to visit a loved one at WaySide-or-North County Correctional Facility? If so any information about the place is appreciated. I've already visited the web site on lasd.org but it didnt tell me much about the visiting guidelines-and since PTO always seems to answer my ?'s I though I'd ask my fellow PTO'ers. My man will be thier for about another 2 months and I really want to be here for him as much as I could-so I am really hoping I can go and visit him this weekend- but I'm not sure if I need a visiting form completed prior to my visit? :confused: ????
PLEASE HELP!!!! :thumbsup:

From what I remember Wayside, or Pitchess Detention Center a visting form is not needed. I got there at about 7:30 am you have to stand in line fill out the form with his information on it then you wait in line get searched then take a bus up to the detention center they will tell you what bus to get on and so fourth then you go in a room they check your ID ahain and tell you what phone to sit at, (non contact) then you can be there for I think its an hour but that will be his visit for the entire weekend!

I think thats it! Good Luck!

HI...
I moved your thread into the california forum hopefully you'll get more answers and help there.... :)

Thankyou austins girl - I really want to see my man. Saturday will be a week since I've seen him and now that I can I want to go and visit him as much as possible~~>(cause once he catches the train he will be far far away) :(
Ive heard a couple differant visiting stories from people who have gone to visit someone up there-but yours seems like the best one so far...how long ago has it been since you went to see someone over thier?

I use to go there every weekend to visit my friend. He's there now. But i really dont talk to him. Visiting there is not bad. You get two half hour visits or 1 1 hour visit per weekend. The bad part is the no contact. The lines usually get long arounf 10 so try to be there early. Youll fill out a form and then like austingirl said you get on a bus for like a 10 drive up the hill. There you go and wait for them to tell you where to go. Its not bad.

I Heard There Was A Form That Must Be Filled Out Prior To The Visit That Had To Be Signed By The Prisoner...is That True?

No. I never had to do that. The only form they have you fill out is when you get there. you have to have there name and booking #. Anyone can just show up for visits.

No the form that has to be signed by the inmate and approved is for State Prisons not county jails. Wayside is a county jail so you don't have to go through an approval process.

I went there every weekend before my man got transferred to a state. Get there early because the lines do get long!

Have a good visit!

oh yea you either get 2- 1/2 hour visits (1 sat and 1 sun) or you can have 1- 1 hour visit sat OR sun

Thank You - You All Have My Week!!!!!!!! :yay: I WILL GO AND SEE MY MAN ON SUNDAY FOR AN ENTIRE HOUR AND IT WILL BE ALL GOOD!!!!!!

Have a fun visit! And yes the lines can get long but like I said its been about a year and a half since I have been!

Have a great visit. Wish i was going too.. To bad hes not talking to me..

It is way better than Men's Central! The lines arent long, the only bad thing is no contact. Have fun!

Are you talking about way side in castaic lake by magic mountain? If you are you don't need a visiting form just your driver license no dress code and you visit for 1hr one day or you can break it to 2 30minutes on saturday and sunday, you visit behind the glass it okay I guess it's alot better than LA County Jail...

Yup it sure seems that way-the county takes hours, and hours, and hours-thier are so many baby mommas it isnt even funny!!!!! My mijo was there last weekend and I spent over 7 hours thier & that was just for a 15 minute visit. The county isnt no joke and I sure am glad my man has been moved from that place.

WHEN YOU GO TO WAYSIDE YOU WILL GO IN THE REGISTRATION LINE AND FILL OUT A FORM WHERE YOU PUT THE INMATES INFORMATION. THEN YOU ARE GIVEN A NUMBER. YOU WILKL SIT UNTIL YOUR BUS COMES. THEN YOU WILL GET ON THE BUS AND HEAD UP THE HILL TO THE JAIL. WHEN YOU GET OFF THE BUS YOU WILL WAIT IN ANOTHER LOCATION AND STAND IN LINE THERE AND THEN YOU WILL GIVE THEM AGAIN THE INMATES INFORMATION. YOU WILL WAIT UNTIL THEY CALL HIS NAME THEN YOU WILL GO TO THE VISITING AREA. ITS BEHIND A WINDOW AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN 30MIN TO AN HOUR. HEY I WANTED TO HEAD UP THERE TO MY MANS THERE ALSO WHERE DO YOU LIVE MAYBE WE CAN DRIVE UP THERE TOGETHER. I DONT HAVE A CAR AND I REALLY WANT TO GO. I LIVE BY STAPLES CENTER.
GOOD LUCK,
FLOWS LIL MAMA

well i my brother is in wayside and no you do not have to fill out a visiting form,just take your I.D,but be there early,way before 8am,because there is a long line and long wait...and you might not be able to see him....

No, you will not need to fill out a visiting form. Make sure you take a valid California picture I.D. My man was in wayside for about 5 months... When he was in there was when all the latino on blacks riots started to the point where they had to segregate...and started the 30min. visits due to the amount of latino inmates getting visits. Its not so...bad! I would say get there by 6a.m, the line is huge. When I would visit I would try to get there in time for the first bus. Good luck. Hope this helps...


As for Mens Central Jail, what a hassle it is just to get a 15min. visit. Thank goodness my man was only there for 2weeks tops. My boy was just in there about 2 months ago for violation to his probation and was released early, from my understanding, over-crowding.
I do believe county is more violent than prison.
Since my man has been in prison, its been harder on me, due to denial of visits. Although, it has helped my man besides the loneliness to become more mature to his situation and on having a new perspective on life.

This is my month. =]].
After 1 year, his last year...I`m sure of it! He will never and I will repeat NEVER have to see those 4 walls again. This is one hardship that has changed the both of us for the better.
