Visitation at CSP Los Angeles County

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Trying to visit someone at CSP Los Angeles County? You may hit a snag right away: the CDCR visitors page sometimes loads as a placeholder instead of showing the facility's schedule and instructions. When official pages won't display, many California facilities still use online scheduling portals where you can create or claim an account and book a visit. The process is straightforward—set up or claim your account, sign in, choose the visit type and an available time, then confirm. You can do this from a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and some facilities offer video visits (availability varies). Before you travel, bring a valid, unexpired government photo ID and make sure you're on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. Also check rules for minors and acceptable ID types.
