Friends Outside

Friends Outside is an organization committed to serving all 31 California state prisons, including San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, by providing resources and reentry services to residents. 

During weekend visiting hours, families can utilize Friends Outside services while visiting the family center station at the facility. If a guardian forgets a child’s birth certificate and is prevented visiting access, the visiting coordinator will babysit children, providing a play area, food, and books during visiting hours.

The organization offers visiting family members clothing exchange options when a person’s outfit is outside California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s approved standards.
