Can Minors Visit at Robert Presley Detention Center? Age Rules Explained
Trying to bring a child to visit someone at Robert Presley Detention Center? The age rules can feel contradictory. Here's what the facility page says, what the county-wide rules say, and what to do so you don't get turned away.
The Robert Presley Detention Center facility page states it plainly: visitors must be 18 years or older. This is the rule most families see first when planning a trip. If you're hoping to bring a minor, don't rely on assumptions. Call ahead to confirm what Presley will allow that day before you travel.
Quick heads-up: You will need valid government-issued photo ID to visit. Visitors can also be searched, and they are subject to warrant checks and arrest.
Riverside County's general visiting rules tell a different story: anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. That sounds like minors are allowed in some situations, while the Presley facility page reads as 18+ only. These two sources don't line up perfectly. Your safest move is to treat the Presley page as your baseline, then verify by phone before bringing a child to the jail.
Visitor count varies depending on which rule set you're reading: Presley's page says only 2 visitors per inmate are allowed due to physical distancing requirements. County-wide general rules separately mention up to two adults and two children per visit. Call to confirm what Presley is enforcing right now for your specific visit.
- Call to confirm the current minor policy - Use 951-341-8888 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and ask directly whether a minor can be admitted for the type of visit you are planning.
- Verify you are scheduling with the right place - For attorney or special visits, contact the facility where the inmate is housed to schedule the visit.
- ✓ A valid government-issued photo ID (required to visit)
- ✓ A plan for the visit limits: inmates are allowed a maximum of two visits per week
- ✓ Time expectations: each visit is approximately 45 minutes
If you can't get a clear answer through the visiting schedule line, the Presley visiting page also lists the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner main office: 4095 Lemon Street, Riverside, CA 92501, phone 951-955-2400.
