How to Contact an Inmate at Facility

Already used the CDCR GTL visitation portal? You can sign in as a returning user with either your Visitor ID or email, plus your password. Before logging in, check which identifier you used last time.

Note: PHCI phone lines are strictly for urgent health care inquiries. If your call is not about an urgent change in a patient's condition, you will not receive a callback.

This guide does not cover new-user registration, fees, hours, or other contact methods like mail rules, email options, or general facility phone lines. For anything beyond portal sign-in for returning users or urgent health care inquiries, check with the facility directly.

  1. Sign in as a returning user on the CDCR GTL visitation portal: Use your Visitor ID or your email, plus your password.
  1. Use the PHCI line only for urgent health care changes: Call only if you are an authorized person inquiring about an urgent change in the patient’s health care condition or status, since non-urgent calls are not returned.

What to Verify

  • Confirm you are a returning user (and not someone who still needs to complete first-time account setup)
  • Verify whether you should use your Visitor ID or your email for the login you previously used
  • Double-check you are entering the correct password, and confirm the correct password-reset option if you cannot sign in
  • Confirm the correct PHCI phone number for the specific institution
  • Ask what the facility considers an “urgent change” so you do not lose time using the wrong channel
  • If your issue is not urgent, ask what alternative contact method is available for non-urgent health care questions
  • Verify the current rules for sending mail, including what is allowed and the correct addressing format
  • Confirm whether any electronic messaging options are available and what steps are required to use them
  • Check for any facility-specific instructions that affect communication (processing times, limits, or required forms)
