We offer a free telephone information and referral service (TIRS) for anyone affected by the criminal justice system, including people in custody and on release from prison, family, friends and service providers.
At CRC we understand the practical and emotional difficulties those affected by the criminal justice system face.
Finding information about prison operating procedures can be confusing and difficult. For example, knowing how to book a visit or find where someone is being held can be stressful and complicated. Our knowledge of the criminal justice system and prison procedures can help alleviate this burden.
Thank you so much for all this wonderful information. I really appreciate your help. I’m sharing everything with the family so it will help everyone.
