Step2 Info Ready

• ✓ The inmate’s name and booking number (if you have it)
• ✓ The visit date and time you’re hoping for (remember: you schedule one day prior)
• ✓ The full list of who will attend, including children’s ages
• ✓ A headcount check: no more than two adults and two children per visit
• ✓ The Indio Jail facility phone number (760-863-8252) in case you need to confirm details with the jail

Know the age rules before you finalize your group. Visitors must be 18 or older. Anyone under 18 can only visit if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Group size is capped at two adults and two children per visit.

Keep the jail's frequency limits in mind. Inmates can have a maximum of two visits per week, so coordinate with other family members to avoid using up someone's visits. Each visit runs approximately 45 minutes - think of it as a focused check-in rather than a long conversation.

Bring valid picture identification - any government ID with a photo works. The dress code is enforced, and visitors who don't comply will be turned away. No clothing with gang references, sexual or lewd images, or offensive content. You'll need proper coverage: upper torso and lower/mid body must be covered, and skirts must be at least mid-thigh length.

At check-in, you can only visit the specific inmate you registered for - no switching or trading with another visitor. Once you leave the visitation area, your visit ends, so plan your time accordingly. Staff may search you and your belongings during check-in or the visit itself, and visitors are subject to warrant checks and arrest.

If you’re trying to set up an attorney visit or another type of special visit, you’ll need to contact the facility where the inmate is housed to schedule it. For Indio Jail, the facility phone number is 760-863-8252.
