CDCR 'Sending Money to Inmates' page is missing — what CSP Los Angeles County families should check

Trying to find CDCR's

2

• ✓ If you typed the address yourself, double-check the URL spelling (even one extra character can break it).
• ✓ Resize your browser window and scroll again; CDCR notes that some areas can shift when the window size changes.
• ✓ If the layout looks odd, check the page’s headings/document order to make sure you’re not missing content that moved.

Since CDCR’s message says the page may have moved or been renamed, the fastest workaround is usually to look for the updated version elsewhere on the CDCR site instead of relying on that one address. You’re trying to get to official instructions - so treat the “page not found” screen as a sign to slow down and confirm you’re using the current guidance before you send anything.

For CSP Los Angeles County families, a missing “how to send money” page isn’t just annoying - it can stop you mid-task when you’re trying to help your person buy basics or pay for approved services. The risk is that you end up relying on old screenshots, forwarded instructions, or advice that was true at one point but isn’t current now. If you’re about to send funds, the safest move is to confirm the current, official process first, even if that means taking an extra few minutes to verify.

• ✓ Use CDCR’s site navigation/search to find the current “sending money” instructions if the direct page address is failing.
• ✓ Start from the official CSP Los Angeles County facility page and work outward to the money/deposits guidance from there.
• ✓ Save (bookmark) the updated official page once you find it, so you’re not hunting again next time.
• ✓ Before you transfer funds, confirm you have the correct recipient details (name/identifiers) and you’re following the current official instructions - not a third-party repost.
• ✓ If anything about the instructions feels inconsistent (different steps, different wording, or missing details), pause and verify through official CDCR channels before you send money.

If you were planning an in-person visit or any kind of drop-off tied to money or account funding, treat the missing page as a cue to “verify before you go.” CDCR’s own message mentions that page areas can shift around when a browser window is resized, which is another reason not to trust a quick glance at a broken or oddly formatted page. Confirm the current method and any limits through official information before you make the trip.

From the sources used here, there isn’t enough verified detail to state exactly how CSP Los Angeles County deposits must be made right now. That means this draft does not claim: which vendors (if any) are approved, what fees apply, what payment methods are currently accepted, how long deposits take to post, or what the current minimums/maximums are for sending money. It also does not claim any CSP Los Angeles County–specific commissary or trust-account rules. Those details need to come from current, official CDCR/facility guidance before you rely on them.
