The Pitchess North Jail is a detention center located at 29320 The Old Road Castaic, CA which is operated locally by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Los Angeles County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Castaic Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
North Facility is made up of four modules, each containing four dormitories, eight disciplinary cells, a multi-purpose room (MPR), a medical office, a visiting area, the main control room, and two dorm control rooms. The dormitories are complete with a sleeping area, a dining area/day room, and restrooms. Two dormitories per module share an outside recreation area as well. Its original design housed 90 men per dormitory, 360 men per module, and a total of 1,440 men for the entire facility.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department emphasizes the importance of public interest and concerns regarding inmate visitation at the county’s custody facilities. As part of their ongoing commitment to improving visitation services, the department has implemented an Inmate Visitation Scheduling System.
Visitation at all facilities is limited and must be scheduled in advance, as each facility has specific availability that must be accommodated. Walk-in visits are not permitted under any circumstances. Additionally, for those seeking to hold a marriage ceremony within the custody facilities, pre-approval is required. Such ceremonies will be limited to one adult visitor, one minister, and one adult witness.
Visitors are advised to arrive well in advance of their scheduled appointments to avoid the risk of cancellation. Specifically, those visiting the Pitchess Detention Center, North County Correctional Facility (NCCF), or Men's Central Jail should arrive sixty (60) minutes before their scheduled time. For all other visiting locations, visitors should plan to arrive at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start time. Upon arrival, visitors must check in with staff as part of the check-in procedure.
These measures are designed to ensure the orderly and secure operation of inmate visitation, while also addressing the logistical needs of the facilities and maintaining the safety of both inmates and visitors.
