    Workers were all very nice and helpful. They say to be there an hour early but I got there 45 mins…read moreearly and it was fine. Everything went by quickly as far as visitation goes. It was a very straightforward process.

    Never did I think I would be visiting a loved one in jail but, here we are so let's make the best…read moreout of the situation. Once I arrived I was appalled by the amount of parking there is, usually one has to pay or park far but here parking is not an issue. The check in process was super straight forward fill out you're form get in line go thru security then check in. You will ride a bus about 5 min to the facility and as soon as you get off go inside the facility and hand over your form to the officer. From there it's just a wait till you hear your loved one's name and they'll tell you you're booth. Staff and officers were very nice and understanding something I would wish I'd see more in L.A. Dress code is not so strict from what I've seen but I still try to keep it toned down casual just in case! Sometimes there will be lockdowns and unfortunately that aren't the facility's fault. They go thru a thorough process and as soon as everything is green light then they will almost always let you in to see your loved one. If you need to use the restroom try using the ones passing security for a cleaner experience. Stay strong everyone God is good!

    Just a quick note about the dress code: no strapless or spaghetti strap tops, sheer fabrics, or any…read moreclothing that reveals breasts. Shorts, skirts, and dresses should be at least mid-thigh in length. Please avoid any gang-related attire. Also, remember to wear a shirt underneath your sweater or zip-up jacket. Came back recently and it's busier than it was the last time. So expect to wait in long lines and for the bus/shuttle.

    This is not the usual place you see on Yelp, but I want to share my experience at Pitchess…read moreDetention Center for people who may be visiting loved ones. You need to register in advance and show up early. I was there at least an hour early and that helped. There is free parking and I walked up to the line from there. When I arrived I had a hat, wallet, keys, phone, and a Bible I wanted to give away. An officer politely told me that you cannot bring any of that in. No keys, no phone, no Bible, nothing extra. You lock things up, then go through the line, and take a bus to the area where your visit will be. The officers I dealt with were kind and professional. They explained the rules and kept things moving. They say the visits are about 30 minutes, but I was given more time than that, which I appreciated. You do need to understand where you are and follow the rules. Within that reality, my experience with the staff was respectful. I do wish there was a way to bring in a Bible but I understand they have strict policies. so three and a half stars, which rounds up to 4 on here, based on how I was treated.
