What do I need to bring when visiting Correctional Reception Center?

How do I send mail to an inmate?

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Correctional Reception Center?
This facility primarily houses sentenced state inmates, so bail or bond usually does not apply once a person has been committed to state custody. If a person still has a pending court case or bond issue, contact the court or the county jail handling that case for instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Correctional Reception Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff verify identity, review records, conduct health and security screening, and begin classification. It can take several hours or longer for the inmate to appear in the search system, so records may not be visible immediately after arrival.
