Central Jails: the Sheriff’s pages disagree on visiting days
The Central Men’s and Women’s Jails division page says visiting is on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The Central visiting page gives different days, shown in the table. We show the visiting page, which is the more specific one. Call (714) 647-4543 to confirm before you go. Some hours are restricted depending on where the person is housed.
