Can I send money to an inmate and how?

Yes, you can send money to an inmate in the California Department of Corrections. There are several convenient options available to send funds. One way is through electronic deposit, where you can use JPay or Access Secure Deposits to transfer money online or over the phone. Another option is to send a money order or cashier's check by mail, directly to the inmate's trust account. Make sure to include the inmate's name, CDCR number, and the facility they are housed in on the payment. Additionally, some institutions allow you to deposit cash at kiosks located within the facility. It is important to review the specific guidelines and restrictions for each method to ensure a smooth transaction.
