Picking Someone Up from Nisqually Corrections: What to Expect at Release
Picking someone up at release is usually straightforward, but the details matter when you're standing outside waiting. Here's how pickup works at Nisqually Corrections, plus who to call when timing or plans change.
Before you head out, confirm what's happening in court and when release is expected. Get this information from the person you're picking up, their attorney, or the court directly. Nisqually Corrections won't provide details about specific cases, court appearances, or schedules. Calling the facility for updates they can't give will just cost you time.
Bail timing tip: Bail acceptance depends on facility operations and workload, so expect a wait when posting. Call Corrections staff at (360) 413-3019 ahead of time and ask about preferred bail acceptance times to avoid getting stuck waiting.
When you arrive, check in with reception first. If no one's at the desk, use the intercom in the entrance vestibule. This lets staff know you're there and starts the release process.
Once staff confirm your arrival, they'll ask you to wait in your vehicle. Your loved one will be escorted out to you rather than walking out unescorted to meet you at the entrance.
Transportation matters. If your loved one doesn't have a ride arranged, the facility will return them to their area of jurisdiction instead of releasing them to wait outside.
If the person you're picking up is held by the Washington State Department of Corrections and housed at Nisqually Corrections, transportation is handled according to DOC procedures. Pickup may not work like a standard release to a waiting vehicle.
