VISITING IS A VERY IMPORTANT part of the Juvenile Detention Facility Program. Regular visits help preserve the ties between the youth in detention and his or her family, and vividly demonstrates the interest of the family for the youth and the desire for help.

The youth are assigned to separate housing units or “Pods” and they are allowed visits only when their Pod is scheduled. Here are the VISITING DAYS AND HOURS:

Authorized Visitors are defined as Parents and Legal Guardians, or those approved by the youth’s assigned Deputy Probation Officer (DPO). Photo identification is required.  Visitors approved by DPO’s must be at least 12 years of age.  All visitors under the age of 18 years old,  must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Only two visitors will be approved to enter the facility per visit; therefore, splitting visits with other visitors will be unauthorized. 

Visitors may bring only a photo identification into Cedar Hall.  Please leave everything else in your car or use the lockers provided. We cannot hold your belongings for you.

Parents/guardians are guaranteed 30 minutes to visit within the scheduled visiting time and up to 60 minutes depending on the availability of space. Parent/guardians may visit for all or a portion of the visiting period. The latest a visitor may arrive is 15 minutes prior to the end of the youth’s designated visiting time slot. 

Visitors may NOT return to Cedar Hall once you leave, for any reason. Please use the restroom prior to admittance to Cedar Hall for your visit.

“Any person who knowingly brings, sends into, or assists in bringing or sending into the Juvenile Detention Facility a controlled substance (alcohol, drugs or narcotics), a firearm, weapon, or explosives of any kind will be punished by imprisonment in the County Jail for not more than one year or by imprisonment in the State Prison.” (W&I Code, Section 875.1)

“All visitors are subject to a walk-through metal detector search before proceeding into the facility beyond the reception area.” (Title 15, section 1360).

Questions about a youth’s case, his/her court hearing, or plans for the youth after he/she leaves the Juvenile Detention Facility should be directed to the Probation Officer assigned to the case. The Probation Department can be reached at (707)784-7600.

No food or drink is allowed in the main lobby area or in Cedar Hall.

All visitors are expected to follow the above regulations, as well as directions given them by custody staff on duty. Any visitor who does not comply will be asked to leave and future visiting privileges will be withdrawn.

The Juvenile Detention Facility does not accept donations of books or magazines from parents.

We encourage you to write your child while he/she is here. Remember to include your complete return address. Youth may not receive mail from other jails, prisons, or juvenile halls. Please address mail as follows:
