How to Connect With an Inmate in California State Prison Solano

There are currently more people in the California State Prison Solano than the facility is meant to hold. According to Prison Insight, CSP Solano was built in 1984 with an original design meant to hold only 2,610 inmates — and yet its capacity is actually at more than 3,500.

If you have a loved one in California State Prison Solano, here's what you can do.

You can visit an inmate on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. You will wait in what is called a Friendship House (safe outside visitor center) before meeting with your loved one at an approved time. In the meantime, you may also write a letter or become a prison pen pal until the next visitation.

When handling letters, it can be stressful to make sure you're following all the guidelines for writing a prisoner in CSP Solano. However, you don't have to do it alone. You can craft your message in DoNotPay digitally, and we'll send a physical copy for you. Better yet, we also offer the option to receive letters and make them digital for you as well.
