Sending Packages from Approved Vendors

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 on how to become a Quarterly Package Vendor, please contact Lt. Victor Espinoza at Victor.Espinoza@cdcr.ca.gov. For information regarding the Incarcerated Persons Religious Vendor Package Program, contact m_DAIReligiousPOU@cdcr.ca.gov.

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.

Notes:

  1. This Religious Vendor List is comprised of approved vendors who sell items as listed on the Religious Personal Property Matrix (RPPM), per Title 15, section 3190(k)(4).
  2. Vendors of religious texts, (i.e. Bible, Koran, books, etc.) do not need to be included in this list. Inmates may receive publications from any publisher, book store or book distributor that does mail order business, as per Title 15, section 3190(k)(7).
  3. When placing orders, provide vendor with “Inmate’s Name,” “CDCR Number,” “Privilege Group,” and current “Housing Location”

Important: All vendors must receive CDCR approval before providing services to institutions. 

Inmate Quarterly Packages are available through authorized private vendors (view approved package vendor list). Since 2003, the CDCR has contracted with a number of statewide and national companies that ensure inmates receive packages.

CDCR vendor approval is limited to minimum security requirements and general business intent. Purchases from vendors are at the buyer’s sole risk. CDCR assumes no liability for such purchases. Any issues or disputes regarding the vendor’s products are the sole responsibility of the buyer and/or vendor, and 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.
