Restitution Information

If you were the victim of a violent crime, and the sentencing court ordered the defendant to pay you restitution, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) can help collect on your direct order while the offender is in under our jurisdiction. For detailed information you can download the Victims’ Guide to Restitution Brochure. The links below will give you information on specific aspects of restitution as well as CDCR’s collection efforts.
