Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
CDCR is switching inmate communication services from ViaPath to Securus, and Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (CVSP) is part of that statewide transition. This includes phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging. The change should lower costs for calls and e-messages compared to the previous provider. Create a Securus account before your loved one's facility switches over so you're ready to use video, messaging, and prepaid options right away. During the rollout, some institutions will stay on the older platform until their scheduled move, so use whichever service is currently active at your loved one's location. CDCR posts a tablet rollout schedule and FAQs where you can track timing and details for CVSP.
