Here's a great page that lists a whole lot of info re: CA prisons....(i.e. contacts within CDC, Senators, etc.) Just rec'd it from the Yahoo VIP_Cali group. Again, hope it's of help to everyone. I know I'll be saving it as a favorite!! Never know when you'll need to know who to contact about classification issues, etc.
