How to Schedule Your First Visit at Smith Correctional Facility
Visiting someone for the first time can feel like a lot to juggle. At Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility, scheduling starts with a single phone call. After that, it's about showing up with the right ID and knowing a few rules that could cut your visit short.
Call 951-922-7540 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to schedule your visit. Have your details ready before you dial - the inmate's name, booking number, and your preferred date and time.
Only two visitors per inmate are allowed per visit, so decide who's going before you call. There's also a weekly cap to keep in mind: inmates can receive a maximum of two visits per week. If someone else already visited recently, that counts toward the limit.
Visits last about 45 minutes. It goes faster than you'd expect, so arrive ready to check in and make the most of your time.
Info Ready When Calling
- ✓ The inmate’s name (and booking number, if you have it)
- ✓ The full names of the two visitors who plan to attend (only two visitors per inmate are allowed per visit)
- ✓ A valid government-issued picture ID for each visitor (you’ll need it to visit)
You can only visit the inmate you signed up for - no switching or trading with another visitor. If you're coordinating visits for multiple people, make sure everyone schedules the right inmate from the start.
Warning: Visitors may be searched, are subject to warrant checks, and may be arrested. Don’t bring anything that could be considered contraband - assume staff will check both you and your belongings.
Once you're in the visiting area, treat it like you're locked in. Leave for any reason and your visit ends immediately - handle everything you need before you go in.
