How to Schedule Your First Visit at Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF)

Want an in-person visit at Central California Women's Facility (CCWF)? You'll book it through CDCR's Visitation Scheduling Application (VSA). No calling the front desk - everything goes through VSA.

New to VSA? CDCR offers two helpful resources worth bookmarking. The VSA Help materials walk you through the application itself, while the Visitation Process guide explains the full flow CDCR expects when planning a visit at CCWF or any other institution. If you hit a confusing screen or lose your place, start there.

1. Open the CDCR Visitation Scheduling Application (VSA) - This is the system you’ll use to schedule an in-person visit at CCWF.
2. Create your VSA account or log in - If you’ve never used VSA before, start by setting up your account; otherwise, sign in.
3. Use the Visitation Process steps as your roadmap - CDCR publishes a Visitation Process guide that walks you through planning a visit at its institutions; follow that flow as you request and schedule your first visit.
4. Pull up VSA Help if anything is unclear - CDCR’s VSA Help instructions are there for the “how do I do this part?” moments while you’re working in the application.
