CDCR
Welcome, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Friends and Family.
Securus is now the proud communications provider for CDCR. This website gives you all the information you may be seeking to understand our services available to you and your loved one who is housed at a CDCR facility.
Securus offers so many ways to connect with your incarcerated person. Starting in September, phone calling, video calling and eMessaging will be rolled out.
What you can do now to be ready to use future communication services:

- If you plan to receive video calls from your loved one:
- Click on AdvanceConnect in the app to setup and fund your account for prepaid video calls.
- Click on Video Connect in the app and register by selecting ‘Allow Video Calls’.
