This group is specific to Kern Valley State Prison and is for the express support to families and friends with loved ones serving time in California's newest prison.

I would like to encourage members to post messages and questions related, but not limited to: Visiting, lockdowns, mail issues, program issues, phone call issues, packages, vendors, news articles, etc.

Kern Valley State Prison is the newest state-level "SuperMax" prison in California and houses 4600+ Level IV prisoners in 4 separate facilities containing a total of 32 180-design housing units. 400 Level I MSF (minimum support facility) prisoners are housed in dorms surrounding the main prison. KVSP also houses Level II and Level III inmates in its 4 gymnasiums due to the current severe overcrowding in the California Prison System.
