HI! I'll be visiting Pleasant Valley in a month or so, I hope! I love that they have appointments...

Is it true that the tables are normal adult height, not "kiddie" sized?

Can you and your guy can walk around? (oooh, I got backaches at Lancaster)

Can close custody inmates go on the patio?

Is there a line of cars to get in?

Is it pretty laid back as far as dress code, hugging, etc?

Thanks to anyone who knows!!

Yoo-hoo.... anybody out there?? :)

No personal info to share as I have never been but I found this basic info on the web


Visiting parking. No problem at PVSP. No one at the guard shack entrance. You just drive in;
park your car (windows all closed, no cracks or damaged windows - they have workers outside

the fence, so they'll pull you out of visiting if you leave windows down - whatever!) Anyways

then you just walk in to visiting room. Can't be in there before the allotted time 8:30am

but no hassle parking. The road in is patrolled heavily by CHP and they get allot of
revenue giving tickets to speeders though.

All visitors must not wear clothing that resembles State-issued inmate clothing; blue chambray shirts,

denim jackets, blue-black-gray-or acid washed color denim clothing/articles or orange jumpsuits.

These restriction apply to any combination of the colors or materials,

Gray, white, blue or black jogging clothes, sweatshirts and/or sweat pants, white or black T-shirts.

visit at one time.

PVSP is off of Hwy 5 and Jayne Avenue in the City of Coalinga. I believe it is about 4 hours from you. There are a few hotels on the freeway with easy access - Motel 6, Travelodge and Harris Ranch (expensive). You can make online reservations for Motel 6 and save a few dollars. There are a few older hotels in the town of Coalinga, but I haven't seen any I like. Never stay at the Royal Hotel or Lodge, trust me never.

There are a few restaurants next to Motel 6 and Travelodge - Burger King, McDonalds, Carls, Red Robin, Denny's and a good mexican restaurant (name escapes me) that is affordable.

There are a few gas stations - Chevron, Circle K and more on each corner. But try to have gas before you get there because it is very expensive at the AM/PM on Jayne (on the way to PVSP), and the stations near the hotels.

cali i'm going to pick up my son in a week but that is on a sunday. i hear that it opens at 800 how would i get in. if i go early do i stay in line with familys that are going to visit or is there another line for releases

sofiey,

Whoops this is an old thread, I'm a PV veteran now :).

Last time I went they started letting us in at 7:30. There is another lane for clergy, etc. so if I were you I'd get in that lane and tell the guard why you're there. They are pretty friendly at the gate.

grbrblue, thanks for the tip about the Royal Hotel!

thanks alot qwerty, i know you would answer back

Hey sofiey--- what I REALLY wanted to say was congratualtions on your son's release!!!! :):):) I am so happy for you!! Hang in there, only 1 more week :D.
