As a visitor to a California prison, it’s helpful to be informed of rules, regulations and the latest news. As a friend or family member of someone incarcerated in this state, it’s vital to make connections that support you and your loved ones.

The Solano IFC Website is here for you. We provide links, updated information, forms, CDCR Memos, and resources that enable you as a visitor at Solano prison to access the information you need, when you need it.

Please contact any IFC members by email or on-site during visiting hours with any suggestions or comments or questions.

If you wish to visit, you must be an approved visitor. Your inmate must send you form #106, visitor questionnaire, to fill out and return. Please send your filled out questionnaire to: Attn Visiting, P.O. Box 4000, Vacaville, CA 95696

This site is not a state-sponsored website. We are a volunteer organization, and are NOT part of the prison staff or administration.

Be sure to check the Solano hotline for further updates.

  ALWAYS PRINT AND BRING YOUR APPT. CONFIRMATIONS WITH YOU.

REMEMBER Hats, gloves and scarves were automatically allowed Oct. 31-March 31…and now ONLY when we have inclement weather which will be decided by Visiting Lt.

We will try to notify visitors whenever possible ahead of time.
