Monterey County Juvenile Hall INMATE & FAMILY SERVICES
The Monterey County Juvenile Hall in Salinas, Monterey County, California, like all jails is a maximum security facility. Because the inmates in this jail range from low level offenders to those being held for violent crimes like robbery, rape and murder, the security level is as high as is it is in any maximum security state prison. Some of the security features in this facility include security cameras, electronic detection and reinforced fencing topped with razor wire. Correctional officers in Monterey County Juvenile Hall are armed with mace and trained to use physical force to protect themselves and other inmates from violence.
The men, women and juveniles being held in the Monterey County Juvenile Hall are either awaiting trial or have been sentenced in the Monterey County Court System already and been sentenced to a period of time of one year or less. When an inmate is sentenced to a year or more, they are
admitted into the California Prison
or
Federal Prison System.
Inmates in the Monterey County Juvenile Hall are fed three meals a day totaling 2,500 calories, are allowed access to phones to contact friends and family members, are allowed at least one hour a day for exercise, have access to books, bathroom and shower facilities.

With Prepaid Calls you can set up your account so that the inmate can only call you and/or you can just deposit money in their account and they can purchase prepaid phone cards through their commissary and call whoever they choose, provided the Monterey County Juvenile Hall approves of the phone number.
