Family Visitation
As a general note, family visits are encouraged as part
of each youth’s treatment program. Visitation is restricted to three
members of the immediate family only. Immediate family is defined as
parents, legal guardians, grandparents, or siblings. Siblings or
visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal
guardian, and are considered part of the three immediate family members.
Family members in need of reasonable accommodations due to a disability
must submit a written request to the Superintendent of the facility at
least 48 hours prior to the visitation date.
Each secure facility follows established guidelines and requirements for
visitation and processing visitors. They include:
Visitors will identify themselves and the youth they are requesting to
visit. All visitors and children over the age of 12 will be required to
be on the “Authorized Visitation Record”, show picture I.D., pass
through a metal detector, and are subject to search. All personal and
food items brought into the facility are also subject to search.
Proper identification is defined as: Current Driver’s License,
Identification Card, Military I.D., School I.D., or any current ID with
a photograph.
Any visitor on Probation or Parole must have written permission from
the Superintendent to visit.
Once the visitor is cleared and items are checked, the youth will be
called to the visitation room.
Persons not authorized to visit must leave the grounds (including the
parking lot). Anyone loitering may result in being asked to leave the
parking lot and termination of the visit. There is NO swapping of
visitors in mid-visitation and once a visitor leaves the facility, they
may not re-enter.
Permitted items include a required picture I.D., car keys, $5.00 in
coins, see through change purse, prescription medication in original
container and ONLY for the quantity required during visitation period.
Retail food and factory sealed items may be brought into
visitation for youth. NO GLASS CONTAINERS OR METAL UTENSILS ARE ALLOWED.
Plastic or paper containers and utensils only (NO KNIVES). All food
items must be consumed during the visitation, or taken out with the
visitor. No food or drinks will be allowed to be taken to the housing
unit by youth or staff.
Non-Permitted Items include: Youth personal property, letters, cards,
or pictures will not be accepted or allowed to be brought in during
visitation hours. ABSOLUTELY NO WEAPONS, TOBACCO PRODUCTS, ALCOHOL
BEVERAGES OR ILLEGAL DRUGS ARE ALLOWED ON FACILITY GROUNDS (INCLUDING
THE PARKING LOT).
Inappropriate behavior or language will not be tolerated and the
visitation will be subject to cancellation.
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The time spent during visitation is an important and valuable
part of your child’s treatment. It is understandable that
transportation and financial commitments may hinder your ability
to visit on a regular basis. Through the hard work of an Arizona
Department of Juvenile Correction's employee and the City of
Phoenix, we are delighted to announce the
new 35th Avenue bus route.
The bus stop is located on 29th Avenue and is a short distance
from the entrance to both Adobe Mountain and Black Canyon
Schools.
Click here to view the 35th Avenue
bus route schedule. We encourage you
to review the new bus route schedule and utilize it if possible.
We hope that by taking the bus, you will be able to make
frequent visits and that it may relieve some of the financial
burden of your transportation costs.
For any questions or concerns regarding the route or visitation
please contact the facilities Family Liaison.
