Requesting a Visit at Tehama County Jail: The 7–30 Day Rule and How Visits Are Assigned
If you want an in-person visit at Tehama County Jail, timing your request matters. The jail uses a pre-approval process with a 7 to 30 day submission window, then assigns your visit after reviewing the request.
Tehama County Jail requires your visitation request at least 7 days before the date you want to visit. They also won't accept requests submitted more than 30 days out. So aim to send yours within that 7 to 30 day window. That gives the jail enough time to review and schedule it.
Tip: Before picking dates, check the visitation schedule for the correct visiting days based on the inmate's housing unit. That schedule matters just as much as the 7 to 30 day request window.
Once the jail receives your request, staff review it before anything goes on the calendar. If approved, you'll be assigned a 30-minute time slot. You'll also get an email confirming the approval and your assigned time, so keep an eye on the inbox you used when submitting the request.
Even after a visit is scheduled, the jail manages it on their terms. The visitation appointee can end a visit at any time if they believe facility security or rules have been breached.
- Complete the visitation form - Fill it out fully so staff can review it without delays.
- Email the form - Send it to the email address listed on the jail’s visitation page (this is how Tehama County Jail takes visitation requests).
- ✓ Confirm your requested visit date is at least 7 days away.
- ✓ Confirm you are not requesting a date more than 30 days out.
- ✓ Check the visitation schedule for the correct visitation days based on the inmate’s housing unit before you submit.
Before Submitting Checklist
- ✓ Check the visitation schedule for the inmate’s housing unit so you request a day that unit can actually visit.
- ✓ Make sure your request will be received at least 7 days before the visit date.
- ✓ Do not submit a request more than 30 days in advance.
Once approved, you'll receive an email with your assigned 30-minute time slot. Use that as your plan for the day. Show up at the time you were given, since your visit length is tied to that scheduled slot.
Note: All in-person visits are non-contact. Staff can also end a visit at any time if they believe facility security or rules have been breached.
