If you haven't used the portal before, start by claiming your account through the "CLAIM ACCOUNT" link. Then sign in with your Visitor ID or email, pick an available time slot, and confirm your reservation. You can schedule from a computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Starting in September, CDCR facilities including Sugar Pine Conservation Camp are moving phone, video, and electronic messaging to Securus. Getting set up early makes the switch easier. Standard audio phone calls don't require a Securus account, but video visits and electronic messages do. To accept video calls, set up AdvanceConnect (prepaid video) in the Securus app and add funds. In the mobile app, register under Video Connect and enable video permissions (for example, selecting "Permitir videollamadas") so inbound video calls come through. Keep in mind that during the rollout, some institutions may stay on an older provider until their switch is complete. Confirm Sugar Pine's current platform before buying minutes or video time.
