If you leave, your visit ends immediately. You can only visit the specific inmate you signed up to see. Swapping or trading inmates with another visitor isn't allowed.

For staying in touch outside of in-person visits, California is transitioning to a statewide communications provider. Phone calls, video visits, and electronic messages all go through the department's communications platform. You'll need to create an account before using video or messaging. If you plan to use prepaid video visits, add funds through the app's prepaid feature first. Because the transition is ongoing, confirm which platform the facility currently uses before you register or pay.

To add money for someone at Larry Smith Correctional Facility, deposit methods often include online or mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, and U.S. Postal money orders. The exact options depend on the county or facility and the vendor used. Money in an inmate trust account covers commissary, phone time, hygiene items, and other approved purchases. It may be reduced by court-ordered restitution or other authorized deductions. Before you send anything, confirm the person's full name and booking or facility ID, then use an accepted method. Never mail cash. Keep in mind that vendor posting times vary, kiosks may not make change, and third-party fees can reduce what actually reaches the account. Under Riverside County procedures, some funds can become "unclaimed" and require a mailed claim to recover them.
