You can do this by emailing chcfvideovisiting@cdcr.ca.gov.

Visiting hours

You should always call the state prison to verify that you can visit your loved one. If your loved one can receive visitors, you can schedule an appointment between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM on a weekend or holiday and between 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM on a Friday. Keep in mind, inmates are entitled to two hour-long in-person visits.
