General Visitation Information

Eaton County Youth Facility - Visitation

The Youth Facility has weekly scheduled visiting sessions. ONLY parents or legal guardians and grandparents may visit. Under very rare circumstances others may visit. All visitors must present pictured identification upon request and are subject to search. Cell phones, coats, hats, and personal items must be left outside of the visitation area. Because of security issues, parents who bring children or unauthorized visitors with them will NOT be allowed to visit. Also because of security concerns, it is important that you arrive at the designated times. Failure to do so may result in you not being able to visit with your child.

DETENTION VISITING PRIVILEGES
VISITORS MUST PRESENT PHOTO ID
Visiting privileges are limited to the parents, grandparents, or legal guardians. The Facility Director may approve rare exceptions. ALL VISITORS MUST SIGN IN BEFORE SPEAKING WITH YOUR YOUTH. Visiting hours are 6:00-6:50 PM on Wednesdays, and 2:10-3:00 PM on Sundays.

Security issues require that the doors open for visiting ONLY at 6:00 PM and 6:30 PM on Wednesdays, and at 2:10 PM and 2:30 PM on Sundays. Failure to arrive on time will result in your having to wait until the next scheduled opening, which means visits are either for 50 minutes or for 30 minutes or less.

VISITATION RULES AND GUIDELINES:
1. Visitors must follow all laws of the nation, state, and city during the time that they are attending visitation.
2. Visitors are not allowed to bring ANYTHING into visitation unless otherwise approved. ID and car keys can be left at table in front of visiting area during visitation.

If you have no vehicle here and these items are brought into the building, you must place them in a locked locker in a secured area for the duration of your visit, along with any coats or other outer-wear worn into the building. The Youth Facility is not responsible for the loss or damage of personal items brought into the building.
4. Mail may not be hand carried to the youth. All letters, birthday cards, etc. may only be received through the U.S. mail. Pictures for youth to keep must come through the U.S. mail and may not be given at visitation.
