What to Bring and Do Before Your First Visit to Twin Towers Correctional Facility

All public visits at LASD jail facilities - including Twin Towers - are by appointment only. You'll need to register as a visitor through the visit.lasd.org app before booking. Don't wait until the last minute. Set up your registration and book your appointment a few days ahead so you're not scrambling. Before you head out, double-check your appointment time to make sure you arrive during the right check-in window.

What to Bring

  • ✓ Photo ID (required)
  • ✓ A few quarters (for a locker to store personal belongings during your visit)
  1. Call the IRC - Dial 213-473-6080 or 213-473-6100.
  2. Ask where they’re housed - Request your family member’s location (tower, floor, and pod number).
  3. Get the booking number - Ask for their booking number and keep it handy for your visit.

Note: Limited in-person and video visits have reopened. While you’re on-site, you’ll need to follow the facility’s health guidelines.

What to Bring and Do Before Your First Visit to Twin Towers Correctional Facility

Check-in is straightforward but structured. You'll need to show photo ID, and staff will verify your appointment and visitor registration. Give yourself extra time for these administrative steps before you're cleared to proceed.

  1. Put personal items in a locker - Bring a few quarters so you can store your belongings while you visit.
  2. Follow staff directions - After check-in for your appointment, do what staff tells you (where to wait, when to move forward, and where to go next).
