How to Visit Regional Adult Detention Facility (RADF) (CA)

RADF resumed in-person, on-site barrier visits on March 20, 2023. If you haven't visited since before that date, this is the big update: in-person visits are back on.

Visit sign-ups at RADF happen only on the day of the visit. The window runs from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm, and you need to sign up at least one hour before the scheduled visit time. It's first-come, first-serve, so the earlier you get there, the better your chances of landing the slot you want.

RADF organizes visiting times by module. You'll see slots listed like "Module A / Module I" with a specific day and time (for example, Monday 11:30 am to 12:00 pm). To find the right visiting slot, you need to know which module your person is housed in.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Sign up on the day of the visit between 7:00 am and 6:30 pm
• ✓ Complete sign-up at least one hour before the scheduled visit time
• ✓ Plan for first-come, first-serve sign-ups (earlier is usually better)
• ✓ Bring a valid U.S. government photo ID (local, state, or federal)

Before picking a visit time, check RADF's module-based visitation schedule and find the entry that matches your loved one's module. The schedule is formatted by module and day/time (for example, Module A / Module I, Monday 11:30 am to 12:00 pm). Once you know the right slot, you can time your same-day sign-up accordingly.

Policies and schedules can shift, so double-check the details before you make the trip. Confirm that in-person, on-site barrier visits are still operating (they resumed March 20, 2023). Verify that same-day sign-ups still run from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm and that you still need to sign up at least one hour before your visit time. Also check whether sign-ups are still first-come, first-serve, which U.S. government photo IDs are accepted, and the current module schedule and times for your loved one's housing module.
