It depends if they are over 18 or not when they were arrested and if they were tried as adults or not.

If they're under 18, it's hard to find out - from what happened in Long Beach, the kids that got arrested didn't get a phone call and the parents didn't know they were arrested until one of them called the police to file a missing persons report. You got to call the person's family to know where they went or guess based on location.

How to Contact an Inmate


Written Contact
Indiviuals are free to contact any state prison inmate by mail. Incoming letters are opened and inspected for contraband and then forwarded to the inmate. To ensure prompt processing the following information should be included on the envelope:

Inmate’s full name, CDC#
Institution Name
P.O. Box Housing (preferable)
City, CA ZIP
To get an inmate’s CDC# or housing assignment, individuals should call the Public Information Officer (PIO) or the inmate locator at the institution (see below for phone numbers).

Those people who don’t know where an inmate is housed may contact the Department’s ID Warrants unit at (916) 445-6713. A date of birth will be required if the person they are inquiring about has a common name.ID Warrants will not provide inmate housing information.

Mailing Addresses

In most cases, the inmate mail address is different from the general institution address. Listed below are the inmate mail addresses for all California state prisons. Also listed are the phone numbers for the institution’s Public Information Officer, and where appropriate, the inmate locator units.

Phone Contact

Most inmates have access to telephones and can initiate outgoing collect calls. When corresponding with an inmate, individuals may provide a telephone number where an inmate can call them collect. It is up to the inmate to initiate the call. Phone calls are limited to 15 minutes.
