Hi there! I am expected to turn myself into a CRC. I have not been able to reach anyone at the facility, but I’m just looking to find out what to expect. Close? Cell phone? Do I get to work right away?

This will be the longest day of your life. The reception centers are for admissions and orientation of new inmates. You will have to sit and wait for hours on end as they process you into the system. You will not need clothes, or cell phone (are you kidding?!?!). Your work assignment will come several days later or more. You will be assigned a number, a bunk, and a locker.
