Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at 411@postitbailbonds.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

In an effort to reduce contraband and time-consuming searches of packages destined for inmates, family members cannot send inmate packages, also known as quarterly packages, directly to inmates, who are incarcerated in California State Prison.

Since 2003, CDCR has contracted with a number of statewide and national companies that ensure inmates receive packages. Prior to the vendor list, if something was found in a package sent by a family member to an inmate that was not allowed, the inmate had to pay to mail it back to their family member or it is donated or discarded.

Inmate Quarterly Packages are available through authorized private vendors (all vendors must receive CDCR approval before providing services to institutions). For more information, please contact any of the currently authorized package vendors listed below.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has approved this independent vendor to sell merchandise to inmates and the public. CDCR’s brief review and approval of this vendor was strictly limited to minimum security requirements and general business intent. The CDCR is not affiliated with this vendor and does not guarantee that the vendor will fulfill any obligations, perform as expected, nor permanently remain in business, nor does the CDCR guarantee the vendor’s products in any way. Any purchases from this vendor are at the buyer’s sole risk. The CDCR assumes no liability whatsoever for such purchases, nor any aspect thereof. Any issues or disputes regarding the vendor’s products are the sole responsibility of the buyer and/or the vendor, and the CDCR is not obligated to mediate or resolve any such disputes (Department Operations Manual Section 54030.9.1(a)(7)).

Any funds sent to an inmate will still be subject to restitution as ordered by the sentencing court. However, families that purchase packages directly from a vendor are not impacted by restitution.

Reasons to Send Money

  • Funds to Inmate (for discretionary spending). Money that is being sent to the inmate for his or her own personal use is subject to restitution and administrative charges.
  • Restitution Payment. To make a payment for a restitution fine or direct order for a parolee, the parolee should contact his/her parole agent for instruction. If the payment is for an inmate, the inmate should contact his/her counselor for information. When making a payment, please give the restitution fine or direct order information. We also need in writing what should be done with any excess money over the fine or direct order amount. It can either be given to the inmate or refunded to the sender. IMPORTANT: When an inmate has a Restitution Fine and Direct Order Collection a portion of any money you send in will be used to pay that fine or collection. Effective January 1, 2007 and thereafter, when an inmate owes any obligation pursuant to a restitution fine imposed by a court, the department shall deduct 50 percent or the balance owing, whichever is less, from the inmate’s wages and trust account deposits regardless of the source of such income. In addition, an administrative fee of 10 percent of the deduction shall be deducted to reimburse the department for its administrative costs, for a maximum deduction of 55 percent. The amount deducted, less the administrative fee, shall be transferred to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board for deposit in the Crime Victims’ Restitution Fund in the State Treasury. (CCR § 3097) You may contact the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board at 800-777-9229. Visit the CalVCB website.
  • Family Visiting. Before sending money for family visiting, contact the institution’s Family Visiting Office at the institution where the inmate is located for instructions. NOTE: Funds for family visiting may NOT be sent via Electronic Funds Transfer.
  • Temporary Community Leave. Before sending money for Temporary Community Leave, the inmate should contact his or her counselor for instructions.


The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has partnered with, the California Department of Technology (CDT), to enter into a contract with ViaPath Technologies (formerly Global Tel*Link Corporation, or GTL) to enhance communications, technology access, and family connections for the incarcerated population in state prisons.

CDCR knows how important it is for incarcerated people to stay connected with their loved ones. The Department offers ample opportunities for connection through in-person and video visits, letters, electronic messaging, and video and audio calls.

CDCR continues to expand access to new and existing services and innovative rehabilitative opportunities. This six-year contract covers many aspects of communications technology, including providing access to services from tablets and kiosks for the entire incarcerated population.

Beginning January 1, 2023, all telephone audio calls made from an incarcerated person in a California state prison will be free of charge to the incarcerated person and their friends and families.

The enhanced communication project aims to strengthen the bonds between the incarcerated population with their families and communities. Jails and prisons across the US are seeing the benefits of utilizing electronic devices as they provide incarcerated individuals access to rehabilitative program content, important departmental updates, and positive leisure-time activities, such as knowledge-based games and books. These devices also allow these activities to be tracked and monitored for safety and security. 

Tablets are provided at no cost to families or incarcerated people, although certain premium features, such as streaming music services, may incur charges. These paid tablet services are funded through the incarcerated individual’s Trust Fund. Family and friends can make deposits to Trust Fund accounts through ConnectNetwork, ViaPath Technologies’ one-stop resource for assisting family and friends in connecting and communicating with their incarcerated loved ones. Learn more about ConnectNetwork and how to get started. (web.connectnetwork.com/get-started-cdcr).

The California Model

 The California Model draws on international best practices to change culture within CDCR and CCHCS. The Department is committed to improving working and living conditions for all who live in, work in, and visit state prisons. 

CDCR has embarked on a once-in-a-generation transformation

The California Model is built on four foundational pillars:

 

Embracing international best practices and collaborating with multidisciplinary experts, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is advancing the transformative "California Model" initiative. This forward-thinking approach is dedicated to fostering safer communities through a holistic strategy encompassing rehabilitation, education, restorative justice, and reentry.

At the core of the California Model are four pivotal pillars:

  1. Dynamic Security: This approach focuses on cultivating positive relationships between staff and incarcerated individuals. Achieved through purposeful activities and professional, positive, and respectful communication, it aims to create an environment conducive to rehabilitation.
  2. Normalization: Striving to align prison life with life outside the prison walls, this pillar seeks to facilitate a seamless transition for individuals reentering the community. The closer the prison experience mirrors community life, the smoother the adjustment to post-release life.
  3. Peer Mentorship: Empowering incarcerated individuals to utilize their personal experiences, this program trains them as mentors to support their peers. The goal is to create a supportive network within the prison environment, fostering a sense of community and encouragement.
  4. Becoming a Trauma-Informed Organization: Committed to cultural change, the CDCR and CCHCS are dedicated to enhancing departmental practices, policies, and culture. Staff at all levels are educated to recognize the impacts of trauma, ensuring the physical and emotional safety of both staff and incarcerated individuals.

The California Model represents a groundbreaking approach, emphasizing rehabilitation and community reintegration, ultimately striving to create a positive impact on individuals and society as a whole.

Learn more on Inside CDCR.

 The California Model signifies systemwide change within CDCR/CCHCS, a transformation informed by international best practices. At its core, this initiative addresses longstanding challenges associated with incarceration and seeks to improve prison working and living conditions. One critical aspect of the California Model is its emphasis on “normalization,” a principle aimed at bringing the prison experience closer to life outside its walls
