What Happens After You Submit a Visitation Request at Shasta County Jail

Once Shasta County Jail receives your visitation request, it goes through a review process before anything gets scheduled. Two timing rules trip people up: your request must be received at least 7 days before the date you want to visit, and the jail won't accept requests more than 30 days in advance. Before submitting, take a minute to check the visitation schedule for the housing unit where the person is housed. Visitation days are tied to housing unit, so your request needs to match the right day for that unit.

If your request is approved, you'll get an email with your assigned time. Approved visits at Shasta County Jail are 30-minute time slots, and the slot you're assigned depends on the housing unit you're visiting. This is another reason to double-check the visitation schedule before you submit. Make sure you're requesting a day that actually matches the unit's schedule.

If you don't hear back, or you need clarification on your request status, call the jail directly. You can reach Shasta County Jail at (530) 245-6100, or call (530) 245-6540 to speak with a deputy.
