How do you send a care package to an inmate in California State Prison?

Answer 1

It is getting harder and harder to send a package to a prisoner. You will need to check with the prison. Many have their rules on line. A number will let you send money to the prisoner's account. He then can spend the money at the prison canteen. Frequently people try to smuggle in drugs, handcuff keys, guns, knives, files, civilian clothes, or the like. When that happens, the prison prohibits one more item. Other prisons have places where you can purchase approved mail order items and send them to the prisoner from that store. Such things include tennis shoes with soles soft enough so they can't kill each other in case of a riot. Paper back books so the hard backs wont be weaponized. (Most of the guards do not care if the prisoners kill each other. They just don't want it to happen on their watch.) So, check with the institution. They have someone on duty weekdays during business hours. They have a phone. Someone will answer it.
