Is Pitchess Detention Center the Same as “Wayside Jail”?

How to Find Someone at Pitchess Detention Center
There is not one generic Pitchess-only inmate-search database. Use the LASD inmate-search resources and the LASD Inmate Information Center. Helpful identifying information includes the person's full legal name, date of birth, and booking number when available. Review the current facility or housing information shown in the LASD record.

Custody location may change during processing or transfer. Do not assume PDC East, PDC North, PDC South, or NCCF based on the arresting agency, offense, security status, medical status, mental-health status, sentence, or classification. Check current LASD custody information and booking resources instead.

Visits must be scheduled where current LASD policy requires, and appointment availability is controlled by the facility. LASD currently instructs visitors to Pitchess Detention Center and NCCF to arrive 60 minutes before the actual appointment start time; confirm the current rule before traveling.
