How to Visit Facility

Maguire Correctional Facility does not schedule public visiting on Mondays, so plan around that. Each incarcerated person is allowed two 45-minute in-person visits per seven-day period, with no more than one visit in a single day. Group size matters too: a maximum of three visitors are allowed per in-facility visit.

Your timing at the door can make or break the visit. Check in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start time, but no more than 45 minutes before. Show up after the scheduled start? The visit gets cancelled. You can reschedule for the next available slot that same day, but that's not guaranteed. Bring a current, valid government-issued photo ID. The name and information on your ID has to match what was provided when you signed up, and every visitor in your group needs to do the same.

1. Reserve a timeslot by phone - Call (650) 599-3000 and select the Maguire Correctional Facility visitation prompt. You can sign up a maximum of 1 day in advance to reserve your time.
2. Have your ID details ready when you call - You will be asked for the information on your current, valid government-issued photo ID and the ID information for anyone coming with you.

1. Arrive in the check-in window - Check in no less than 15 minutes and no more than 45 minutes before your scheduled visit time.
2. Show matching, current government-issued photo ID - Bring current, valid government-issued photo identification for yourself, and make sure the information matches what was provided for all accompanying visitors.
3. Avoid a late cancellation - If you arrive after the visit start time, you will be marked late, your visit will be cancelled, and you may reschedule for the next available visit time on the same day.

• ✓ Keep your group to three visitors max for an in-facility visit.
• ✓ Stick to the visit limits: two 45-minute in-person visits per seven-day period, and no more than one visit in a day.
• ✓ Leave prohibited items out of the visitation area: no cell phones, electronic devices (including smart watches), gum, beverages, or food.
• ✓ Use the free lockers for small items if you arrive with something you cannot take in.

Before you make the trip, call to confirm the current schedule and sign-up process. Policies can shift, so double-check that Mondays are still off-limits for public visiting. Confirm the reservation window (the facility's guidance allows sign-ups up to 1 day in advance) and make sure you select the correct visitation prompt when you call (650) 599-3000.

• ✓ The current check-in rule (you must check in 15 to 45 minutes before your scheduled time) and what happens if you arrive after the start time.
• ✓ Exactly which forms of current, valid government-issued photo ID are accepted, and whether every accompanying visitor needs to provide matching ID details during sign-up and at check-in.
• ✓ The prohibited-items list for the visitation area (including phones and smart watches) and whether free lockers for small items are available that day.
