Attention All Visitors
Visitation is one of the most important services we provide to incarcerated people and their loved ones. Effective May 1, 2021, in-person visits will resume. Visitation will operate with strict protocols in place to protect everybody from COVID-19. Guidelines include mandatory face coverings, temperature screenings. If you feel ill or if you are sick, please stay at home. We will continue to evaluate and revise visitation schedules accordingly while still maintaining health and safety protocols. Visit schedules are subjected to change per facility operations.
At this time, in-person visitation will not be available for the East Mesa Reentry Facility, Facility 8 or the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility.
We understand you may have concerns and anxiety about COVID-19, but please know that the safety and security of all is our top priority. All should follow the precautions recommended by Centers for Disease Control and the County of San Diego, which expand upon precautions advised during the cold and flu season.
