Q

Why can't I find someone I know is at SCC?

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.

Q

What if CIRIS shows him at a fire camp instead of the main SCC campus?

SCC jointly runs 30 conservation camps across California. If CIRIS lists a specific camp, confirm with SCC whether mail, money, and visits go to the camp or the main Jamestown campus, since the process can differ.

Q

Do I need a CDCR number to search?

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.

Q

What happens if he's transferred out of SCC?

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.
