How to Visit Facility

If you're coordinating an evaluation through the Jail Diversion/Veteran Diversion Team, plan for extra time. The team needs at least a two-week adjournment to schedule and complete evaluations. This matters for your planning: you may need to request the adjournment before anything else can happen, and the evaluation process itself takes time to arrange. The available information here doesn't cover visit schedules, sign-up rules, visitor limits, or other logistics. Contact the facility or the appropriate office directly to confirm those details.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Request the evaluation as early as you can, and plan around a minimum two-week adjournment.
• ✓ Confirm that the adjournment request has been accepted and that the two-week timeline starts from the correct date.
• ✓ Ask for the next steps and an expected scheduling window for the evaluation, so you can plan transportation, time off work, and any related appointments.
• ✓ Keep a record of dates, names, and any instructions you are given, since small timing changes can push the evaluation back.

Before making plans based on that timeline, check a few things with the facility or the office coordinating the Jail Diversion/Veteran Diversion Team. First, confirm that evaluations still require at least a two-week adjournment and ask whether any exceptions or deadlines affect when you need to request it. Also clarify who can request the evaluation (the person in custody, an attorney, or a family member, for example) and how to submit the request. Finally, ask how you'll be notified of the scheduled evaluation date and what happens if the evaluation can't be completed within the two-week window. You don't want to be caught off guard by a last-minute reschedule.
