Therefore, the Clemens Unit gives inmates and their friends and family several ways to stay in contact.

Send mail

Mail is still an ideal way of staying in contact with an inmate. Not only is it a great way to communicate, but mail is something for an inmate to look forward to. It is encouraged to send mail once a week.

To send mail to an inmate, you will want to make sure it is addressed properly. If you do not know the inmates CDCR number or last location, you will want to do an inmate search to find out that information. Address your envelope in the following way:
