Mail to Jail
You can mail a personal check, cashier’s check, or a money order directly to the jail. This is completely free. However, all funds will be held for 30 days. You will also need to write your name and address on it along with the prisoner’s name and identification number (CDCR).
Visitation
For visitation, you must first be on the inmates approved visitors list. In order to get on the approved visitors list, you must fill out the form and send it back. This process can take a few weeks as they will be doing a thorough background check.
The Cottrell House will NOT give you a call back with their decision. You will need to keep in contact with the inmate.
Visitation is held on days from schedule.
How Often Can I Visit?
You can visit as often as there are appointments.
Keep in mind that visiting can be canceled without notice. If the prison goes into a lockdown, no visitation will be granted. If the inmate is not in good standing, visitation will not be granted.
