How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Ventura County Jail does not allow photos of incarcerated people during in-person or video visits. Leave cameras and phones secured before you check in. If you need a press pass, applications are by appointment only. Call 805-654-5185 to schedule. Many California jails use an online visitation portal where you create or claim an account, sign in, and book your visit (in-person or video), so check the facility's scheduling page before you travel. Bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and make sure you're on the incarcerated person's approved visiting list. Accepted ID types and sign-up windows vary by facility.
