As of March 18, 2020, registration and visitation rules have changed to protect inmates at Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility (LCDRF) - San Diego Co. and their loved ones during the COVID-19 outbreak. At this time, there are no in-person visits for family and friends due to the COVID-19 situation. Video visitation is available; details can be found below or call 619-402-1312.
Registration
All visits are non-contact and conducted through a glass partition. This facility may also have a video visitation option, please call 619-402-1312 for more information and updates to the current rules and regulations.
Inmates are allowed 2 visitors per day
The online visit reservation system will be available 24 hours per day Wednesday through Monday (unavailable on Tuesday).
Due to the overwhelming success of the online reservation option, telephone visit reservation hours will only be accepted from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Inmates are allowed two 30 minute social visits per week. The visit week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Inmates are only allowed one visit per day. Inmate workers are allowed additional visits dependent on their work schedule.
The Las Colinas Detention & Reentry Facility now offers on-site video visitation for all its housing units. Video visitation is an option for the lower security housing units and is the only option for higher security housing. With video visitation, the visitor uses a real-time video teleconferencing terminal adjacent to the public lobby to visit with the inmate who will be using a similar device in the housing unit. Video visits are 30 minutes in length.
Social visits are normally non-contact, conducted through a visit window using telephone handsets. Contact visits are allowed at Las Colinas Detention & Reentry Facility. Each facility has a visit schedule that specifies the days and times available for inmate social visits and are subject to change without notice. Refer to a specific facility’s visit schedule by selecting the facility below:

General Rules for Visiting Inmates
All visitors must check in together one hour before the scheduled visit and are required to present valid photo identification. If a visitor is late, the visit may be cancelled.

Inmates have the right to refuse visits at any time.
