Tablet & phone provider transition — ViaPath → Securus

Tablet switch: this facility is not yet on CDCR’s posted schedule

CDCR is switching all institutions from ViaPath to Securus during 2026, but California Rehabilitation Center does not appear on CDCR’s posted facility rollout schedule (as of June 4, 2026). When a date is announced: ViaPath photos, e-messages, and media will NOT transfer, so your loved one should print anything they want to keep before the switch, and the caller ID they call from will change afterward. Check the CDCR transition page for schedule updates.

Copy call script

Hi, I’m calling before traveling to visit someone at California Rehabilitation Center. Can you please confirm whether in-person visiting is open today, whether my loved one’s housing unit or yard has any restrictions, whether walk-ins are accepted, the processing cutoff time, current dress-code color restrictions, and the exact cash/items allowed in the visiting room? I also need to confirm where CDCR Form 106 should be mailed for this facility.

Getting approved / CDCR Form 106

Mail CDCR Form 106 to Attn: Visiting at this facility’s staff/institution mailing address. Exact staff-mail address is NOT PUBLICLY AVAILABLE in this starter data — requires facility-page verification or phone confirmation before publishing.

The incarcerated person must initiate CDCR Form 106 by sending the signed Visitor Questionnaire to the prospective visitor. If the exact staff-mail address is not published for this facility, confirm it with visiting staff before mailing legal or approval paperwork.

Sending packages to California Rehabilitation Center

! You cannot mail packages or clothing directly to California Rehabilitation Center. Quarterly packages must be ordered through a CDCR-approved vendor, and the vendor will ask for the person's full name, CDCR number, privilege group, and current housing location. If they were recently transferred, confirm the new housing location first — packages sent to the old facility are refused and refunds may lose restocking fees.

Medical information about someone at California Rehabilitation Center

! For an urgent change in someone’s medical condition, call this facility’s Patient Health Care Inquiry (PHCI) line: 916-478-8762. This line is for urgent updates only and will not call back for non-urgent questions or unauthorized callers. Staff cannot share anything without a signed CDCR 7385 on file first. For imminent danger — suicide, homicide, or risk of serious injury — do not use PHCI; call the facility's main line and ask for the Watch Office instead.
