How to Contact an Inmate at USP Victorville (CA)

USP Victorville offers visiting on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and all federal holidays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There's also a separate legal visiting schedule that kicks in when the facility is housing U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) inmates. In that case, legal visiting runs Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on top of the regular visiting times.

Know the basics before you show up. Everyone entering the Victorville complex must present a valid state or government photo ID. Visitor count matters, too: each inmate can have four approved visitors at a time. That total can go up by three if the extra visitors are children under age ten who don't occupy seats.

Note: The visiting room starts clearing 30 minutes before visiting hours end. Inmates can only bring limited personal items into the visiting room: a wedding band, certain religious items, prescription eyeglasses (no case), and essential medication held by the Visiting Room Officer.

How to Contact an Inmate at USP Victorville (CA)

Steps to Follow

  • Bring a valid state or government-issued photo ID.
  • Keep your group size within the four approved visitors limit.
  • If you’re bringing kids, remember up to three children under age ten may be allowed beyond the four, as long as they do not occupy seats.
  1. Confirm the right visiting schedule for the person you’re trying to see: Regular visiting is Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and federal holidays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If the facility is housing USMS inmates and you’re arranging a legal visit, legal visiting may also be available Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
  2. Plan your day around the end-of-visit clearing time: The visiting room starts clearing 30 minutes before visiting hours end, so build that into your timing.
  • Wedding band
  • White handkerchief
  • Religious medal or headgear
  • Prescription eyeglasses (no case)
  • Essential medication (for example, an asthma inhaler or nitroglycerine). These are maintained by the Visiting Room Officer.
