Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an immediate family member to visit at Maguire Correctional Facility. The facility's definition of "immediate family" includes a grandparent, father, mother, brother, sister, or legal guardian. If you're bringing a child, make sure an eligible adult is coming too.

ID Minors

Important: Children may not be left unattended anywhere on Maguire Correctional Facility property at any time.

The facility notes that a member of the Service League of San Mateo County may be available during certain hours to watch children. Availability isn't guaranteed, though. Call the Service League at (650) 364-4664 before your visit to check whether someone can help during the time you need.

The Service League of San Mateo County also offers a range of programs and services at all adult correctional facilities in San Mateo County. If you're trying to line up support around a visit, reach them by phone at (650) 364-4664 or through their website.

  1. Call the Service League before you visit - Contact (650) 364-4664 prior to visitation to ask whether a Service League member may be available to attend to children.
  2. Ask specifically about availability for your visit time - Coverage is only during certain hours, so confirm whether they can help at the time you plan to be at the facility.
  3. Confirm the details you need for drop-off and supervision - Before you arrive, make sure you understand what to do and where to go so you are not trying to figure it out on-site.
  4. Use their website if you need an alternate way to reach them - The Service League can also be contacted through their website, but calling (650) 364-4664 is the direct option listed for checking childcare availability.
