Find Someone at Correctional Training Facility

Use CIRIS, CDCR's statewide inmate search tool, at ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov. Search by name or CDCR number, then confirm the result lists Correctional Training Facility.

They may be a recent booking that hasn't updated in CIRIS yet, they may have been released or paroled, they may have transferred to a different institution, or the name entered doesn't exactly match CDCR's records. Try name variations, or call CDCR's ID Unit at (916) 445-6713 with a date of birth.

Yes. The complex near Soledad was called Soledad State Prison until 1968, when it was renamed the Correctional Training Facility. If older records or family say Soledad, this is the same institution. Search it in CIRIS at ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov like any other CDCR prison.

No, a name is enough to start, but the CDCR number is more reliable and you'll need it for the visitor questionnaire, mail, and JPay deposits regardless.

CIRIS updates to show his current institution, though it can lag a few days behind the actual move. Recheck it before you send money, mail anything, or travel for a visit, since JPay deposits and mail are both tied to whichever institution he's currently at.
