Inside CDCR Video, Rehabilitation

Sharing messages between families, incarcerated

Due to the suspension of in-person visiting, CDCR and CCHCS partnered with the Center for Restorative Justice Works (CRJW) to share messages between families and incarcerated individuals.

Center for Restorative Justice Works facilitates connections

These videos are to, and from, the families and incarcerated people of Central California Women’s Facility. The videos play on institutional television and are shared with the CRJW families.

CRJW is known for its Get On The Bus visiting program, which provides free transportation for children to visit their incarcerated parents.
