State Prision, (California)

Hi there,

This information comes from the "how to contact" page at the
California Department of Corrections.

Phone Contact
-------------

You need to write to the person and give them your phone number:

"Most inmates have access to telephones and can initiate outgoing
collect calls. When corresponding with an inmate, individuals may
provide a telephone number where an inmate can call them collect. It
is up to the inmate to initiate the call. Phone calls are limited to
15 minutes."


Written Contact
---------------

"Individuals are free to contact any state prison inmate by mail.
Incoming letters are opened and inspected for contraband and then
forwarded to the inmate."

Address your letter to:

Inmate’s full name, CDC# 
Salinas Valley State Prison
P.O. Box 1050, Soledad, CA 93690-1050


To get the CDC number for any Salinas Valley inmate, phone the Public
Information Officer at (831) 678-5554.
