In most cases, the parent can visit, unless they are considered a danger to the child...
Locate the state, then the city or county where you think they are being held.
Most jails, prisons and detention centers make allowances for visits with immediate family members, specifically if the child is the one incarcerated. A juvenile can receive visits from parent who is a convicted felon, however it all depends on the crime(s) he or she has been convicted of. Most parents maintain a right to be involved with their child's life, unless there are safety concerns and a history of abuse.
