Valley State Prison for Women - Mission Statement

The mission of Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW) is multi-fold. VSPW functions as a reception center, serves as a general population institution providing education and vocational programming for inmates, and as a Special Housing Unit for those inmates needing higher management care. VSPW is designed as the hub for female inmates with mobility impairment.
The institution focuses on providing the general population with work programming that includes Prison Industry, Joint Venture, and academic and vocational opportunities to emphasize self-improvement and to raise their education level. These opportunities empower the inmates to heighten their productivity as citizens of the institution, pave the way for successful re-entry into society, and reduce recidivism. Additionally, a strong emphasis is placed on substance abuse programming, provided in a therapeutic living community, for those inmates with a substance abuse history.

:help:***Inmates at VSPW are allowed to receiveup to 10 books at a time. They must be paperback and sent directly from the publisher or distributor. Inmates may have a total of 10 books in their possession. If she receives any more books after she reaches her 10 book limit, she will have to donate, give away, or send home an old book (or books) in order to receive new ones.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


:) Quarterly Packages:

The California Inmate Quarterly Package system allows you to send much-desired items to your incarcerated loved one. Each institution sets it’s own rules as to what items are allowed and prohibited and items vary by privilege groups. As a result, vendors therefore provide services to a limited amount of Facilities, Camps, CCF’s or the LA County Jail System. All Quarterly Packages are limited to a maximum weight of 30 Lbs. Nor can they exceed dimensions of 24” x 24” x 24”. All vendors list those institutions for which they provide goods and services and what privilege groups.

:) Special Packages:

Special Packages allow for the purchase of Electronics, Accessories, Musical Instruments, Under Garments and Clothing, Correspondence Courses, Legal Material and Faith Based Items. That would otherwise crowd a quarterly package beyond its allowed weight or dimensions. There is no limit to the amount of special packages allowed in a calendar year.


:help:***For more information on quarterly packages and special purchases, you can contact the Receiving and Releasing Department at VSPW. Just call the main telephone number and press 0 to speak with an operator. You can then ask to be transferred to the R&R Department.

*****

Before you can visit an inmate, you will need to be approved. Your inmate must send you a visiting form (CDC 106). This form MUST be signed by your inmate before he sends it you you. Once you receive your visiting questionnaire, fill it out TRUTHFULLY and don't leave any questions blank. Then, once you are finished, send your completed questionnaire to:

Attn: Visiting Lieutenant
VSPW
P.O. Box 99
Chowchilla, CA 93610

The average wait for a response is 4-8 weeks, from the time your application is received by the visiting staff. In some cases, it takes longer than 8 weeks. I suggest calling the visiting department if your wait is longer than 8 weeks, and find out if your application has been received. They will NOT tell you if you have been approved or disapproved over the phone. It is the responsibility of the inmate to relay that information to you. If you are APPROVED, the inmate will be notified. If you are DISAPPROVED, the inmate will be notified AND you will be mailed a written response with details of the denial.

Reasons for DISAPPROVAL include (but are not limited to):

:( Lying on your application
:( Being a Convicted Felon (you must have prior written approval from the warden before stepping on prison grounds)
:( Leaving Questions Blank
:( Having UNPAID tickets (of ANY kind)
:( Having Outstanding Warrants
:( Being on Active Parole/Probation (you will need prior approval from the Warden)
