Who Is Approved to Visit a Detained Youth
Biological parents and legal custodial guardians may visit with current identification once the probation officer approves them. A husband or wife of the youth also needs a valid marriage license and the officer's written approval. Divorced parents may come together without stepparents, or separated parents can alternate weeks through the probation officer.
Siblings over 21 or under 10 who are on the approved list may join calls when a parent is present, and grandparents can be added for daily incentive calls and weekend calls.

Can I bring my child a letter or snack during a detention visit?
No. Passing anything to the youth, including letters, photos or candy, suspends visiting privileges and can lead to criminal charges.
How do I get a Friday special visit on Mission Road?
Ask the probation officer, who emails the request to the facility administrator and assistant administrator for approval.
Are stepparents allowed when divorced parents share a detention visit?
Not when divorced parents visit together; the county allows joint visits by divorced parents only without stepparents. A parent and stepparent can take their own week instead, arranged through the probation officer.
