Although the Rye Fire does not currently pose a danger to the inmate housing facilities at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has canceled inmate visiting for this weekend due to a long-term power outage at the Visitor Center, and the need to restrict access in order to perform necessary repairs to the surrounding area.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department understands the concerns of the families for those who are incarcerated in the jails.

We have security and evacuation protocols in place if the need for evacuations were to ever become necessary. We understand how important it is that those in our custody have an opportunity to visit with their loved ones, families, and friends.

It is our intention to restore the visiting process at the Pitchess Detention Center as soon as possible. No other visiting schedules at other county jail facilities are impacted.

The Pitchess Detention consists of the following jail facilities: North Facility, East Facility, South Facility, and the North County Correctional Facility.

For more information please visit the inmate information center or call 213-473-6100.
