Hello! I am in the process of creating a Centinela Guide for this sub-forum. I need all the help I can get!

I need information on:

* What CAN and CANNOT be sent to an inmate at Centinela.

* Phone numbers of contacts and departments (ie: the mail room, R&R, visiting)

* Visiting information: What it's like, how long you have to wait in line, etc.

PLEASE SUBMIT ANY INFORMAITON to this thread! :thumbsup:

Thank you,

Laura,

I write to my son's friend at Centinella. I have never visited there but the mailing address for C Yard is:

Centinela State Prison
P. O. Box 921
Imperial, CA 92251

I have sent packages there and because they are on lockdown alot the package sometimes sits there for more than a month before the inmate gets it. Also, there have been 2 occasions that expensive items have been missing from the package. i. e. electric razor and CD player. Just a heads up for everyone.

HERE GOES A YARD ADDRE
PO.BOX 901
IMPERIAL CA 92251

B yard

Visiting lines were pretty long when I visited my husband back in December. I did not have a problem with any of the COs. As a matter of fact, I found them to be quite friendly.

Mail: I sent mail to my husband "priority" and it took them 10 days to get the mail to him once it was received at the facility.

Thank you everyone for all the helpful information. The Centinela guide is complete, and should be posted to this forum tomorrow morning. :thumbsup:

Laura, William's Baby:heart:

Regarding mail you can send 50 pages of blank paper and 20 per-stamped envelopes or 20 blank envelopes with 20 stamps. You can also send up to 7 pictures and basically anything that does not contain gang affiliated or nudity... BUT you can send sexy pictures not showing genital area or nipples. Mail is pretty cool there everything I send to him he receives it,like i said before if i can send myself through mail I would.:thumbsup: any other question feel free to ask me.. If you need info on marriage or family visit or visiting in general.., Feel free to ask :)
