North Kern State Prison is a medium-security prison with a minimum support facility on the same campus. The minimum support facility houses a Level 1 firehouse. It opened in 1993.
It is a reception unit where inmates are held for up to 90s days while staff classifies them for placement into one of California’s state prisons. The facility also serves as the Central-Southern California transportation hub for the California Department of Corrections.
Located just outside Delano, it is a few miles north of Bakersfield, just off California Highway 99. Kern Valley State Prison is a maximum security facility that houses inmates long-term; it is about a mile away. The two facilities give Kern County, CA, one of the highest state inmate populations of any county in the U.S. The two prisons have greatly spurred economic development in Delano.

Also, you have the Inmate Photos guarantee. If your loved one does not get the pictures after two weeks, let us know. We will resend the pictures at no charge, even to the new address if needed.
Inmates in California state prisons are allowed to have tablets. Tablets must connect to a prison kiosk to download anything. Incoming messages have a fee attached to them and this includes pictures. Once received, inmates have to pay to print the pictures on plain paper using low-quality black and white or color ink.
When the inmate leaves North Kern State Prison, unless he or a family member buys the tablet, it stays behind and everything is erased. That means you have to send the pictures again and he must pay again to get the images.
With Inmate Photos, your loved one receives the pictures and they are counted as his personal property. He takes them wherever he goes next.

We take over from here. We print your pictures in top-quality professional color ink on photo-grade paper. We make sure each image fits the prison’s picture size limits. We put your loved one’s name and CDCR number on the back of each image.
If the prison limits how many pictures an inmate may receive in one envelope, we sort the pictures into more than one mailing. We mail several days apart to make sure the daily mail limit is not exceeded
