How to Visit Facility

CDCR directs visitors to its tablets rollout page for the rollout schedule and FAQs. It's a CDCR-wide resource, so start there to understand what's changing and what to expect. Don't expect a simple list of visiting hours, but it gives you the big picture.

CDCR's inmate visitation scheduling system lets you reserve a time slot. The main benefit? You can skip long lines by booking ahead. The system is described at a high level, but the exact screens and steps you'll see depend on your specific visit.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use the inmate visitation scheduling system to reserve a visitation time, so you can avoid long lines.
• ✓ Follow the instructions shown in the scheduling system for selecting an available date, time, and location, and keep any confirmation details you receive.

Before locking in plans, check CDCR's tablets rollout page for the current schedule and FAQs. CDCR points visitors there for the latest overview. It's worth a quick look to catch any updates that might affect how visits work.
