California Correctional Center - Mission Statement
The primary mission of the California Correctional
Center is to receive, house, and train minimum-custody inmates for
placement into one of the institution's 18 Northern California
conservation camps. Working collaboratively with the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, these camps are
strategically located throughout the north state to provide fire
suppression hand crews, as well as an organized labor force for public
conservation projects and other emergency response needs of the State.
Services provided through the conservation camp program historically
amount to many millions of dollars in value to the public. Work
projects associated with conservation camps support municipal, county,
State, and federal government agencies, including schools, parks,
cemeteries, and public recreation areas.
The secondary mission of the California Correctional
Center is to provide meaningful work, training, and education programs
for inmates who do not meet the criteria for assignment to a
conservation camp. These alternative assignments include academic
and vocational trade programs, facility maintenance jobs, food service
positions, and other facility support assignments.
The California Correctional Center offers a wide
assortment of positive leisure-time activities, including numerous
self-help improvement programs, such as literacy, addiction recovery,
veterans' affairs, religious services, and athletic programs.
