Visiting with Children at Danville ADC: Timing, Supervision, and What Parents Need to Know
Child visits at Danville ADC come with extra rules that catch families off guard—especially around timing and who can bring a child. Here's how to plan so your visit doesn't get derailed at the door.
At Danville ADC,
Note: The 30-day requirement is a prerequisite for Child Visitation at Danville ADC - plan around it if your loved one was recently booked in.
Children's visits are scheduled separately from adult visits. Don't assume your child can tag along during regular visitation hours - it doesn't work that way. General visitation runs each Sunday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Children's visitation happens at a different time, so get the correct schedule before you make plans.
Visits are assigned in 30-minute blocks. The inmate is responsible for telling visitors their assigned time, so confirm that exact slot before heading out. Arrive about 10 minutes early. That buffer lets you complete processing before the visit starts. Show up right at start time and you may lose valuable minutes - or miss the slot entirely.
The child must be brought to the ADC by a parent or legal guardian. Plan around this from the start - another adult friend or relative can't stand in unless they're actually the child's parent or guardian. Only children visit during the Children Visitation period. Adults aren't visiting during that slot, so your focus should be on getting the child checked in and ready.
Note: Visitors are subject to search, and you can’t bring weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, cameras, cell phones, or other electronics into the facility. No smoking is permitted during visitation.
Preparing Child
- ✓ Bring a valid photo ID (such as a current driver’s license).
- ✓ Arrive about 10 minutes before the assigned visitation time to complete processing.
- ✓ Set simple expectations with your child ahead of time: the visit is structured, and staff may give directions you both need to follow.
- ✓ Leave prohibited items behind - no weapons, illegal drugs, alcohol, cameras, cell phones, or other electronic items.
- ✓ Plan for a no-smoking visit.
If you're on the inmate's Visitation List, you may be allowed to bring money for them. Confirm the current limits and how the facility wants it handled before you arrive - otherwise you might get turned away or have to take it back to the car.
Note: Confirm the Children Visitation schedule before you go. Child visits are not held at the same time as adult visits, even though general visitation runs Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
