CDCR Video Visits GTL

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has introduced a new initiative to provide video visits for inmates in its facilities. This innovative program aims to improve communication between inmates and their loved ones, as well as reduce the need for physical visits.

One of the facilities that has implemented this program is Facility C, which consists of an Administrative Segregation Unit with 240 beds, and nine Level II General Population units with a total bed capacity of 2496. The facility also includes two man cells and dorms with a total bed capacity of 2800.

The Integrated Substance Use Disorder Treatment (ISUDT) program is another important initiative at Facility C. This comprehensive and evidence-based cross-divisional program provides pathways to treatment through DRP Cognitive Behavioral Interventions (CBI) programs, including IBBI-Intensive Outpatient, IBBI-Outpatient, and IBBI-Life Skills.

In addition to these programs, Facility C offers a range of recreational activities, including organized sports, substance abuse programs, and religious services. Inmates can also participate in volunteer/self-help programs such as Balance Reentry Activity Group (BRAG), Life Cycle, Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous (NA/AA), Avatar, Toastmasters, and many others.

Academic opportunities are also available at Facility C, including Adult Basic Education, Voluntary Education Program, High School/GED, Literacy Program, Computer Assisted Education, and College. Vocational training programs include Electronics, Auto Mechanics, Building Maintenance, Carpentry, Computer Literacy, Electrical Works, HVAC, Masonry, Plumbing, Small Engine, Welding, and Office Services.

Finally, the facility's PIA (Programs In Action) includes Administration, Wood Products (Furniture Manufacturing, Upholstry), Textiles, Silk Screen, Warehouse and Maintenance.

With these programs and services in place, Facility C is well-equipped to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of its inmates into society.
