Visiting Someone in Placer’s Juvenile Detention Facility: Hours, Rules, and What You Can Bring

Call at least 24 hours before your visit to confirm the youth's housing assignment. Visiting hours differ between General Housing and Maximum Security, so this step saves you a wasted trip. Reach the facility at 530-886-4875 to check housing and plan around the right schedule.
