California Rehabilitation Center - Mission Statement
The
California Rehabilitation Center is a medium Level II correctional
facility and is the only adult facility that accommodates both male and
female inmates (in separate facilities). The CRC inmate population
consists of felon commitments as well as Civil Addicts. The primary
dual goals of CRC are to provide an atmosphere of safety and security
to the public, visitors, staff and inmates and to successfully treat
and return all civil addict commitments to a useful and productive
lifestyle.
The administration at CRC is
cognizant of the right and entitlements of all CRC commitments. We
fully support and adhere to all guidelines and provisions governing the
Developmental Disability Program, Disability Placement Program, and the
Correctional Clinical Case Management System.
In
addition to staffing, CRC is also responsible for providing 100+
correctional custody personnel to provide medical guarding and
transportation services to Patton State Hospital. CRC also provides
Fire Suppression, Conservation and Community Service assistance to the
public.
California Rehabilitation Center - Values Statement
California Rehabilitation Center is prideful and is
committed to maintaining an exemplary value structure. We are
inherently responsible for providing safety, security and a realized
sense of well being to the public while promoting honesty, integrity
and ethical behavior at all times. We practice and value
professionalism, excellence and acknowledge our responsibility for the
custody, care, supervision and most diligent efforts to rehabilitate
and not punish those incarcerated at CRC. We strongly encourage
offender programs and serve as a positive role model.

Special Historical Notes
The building now housing California Rehabilitation
Center opened in 1928 as the Lake Norconian Club, a luxury hotel. In
December 1941, President F. D. Roosevelt turned the resort into a Naval
hospital. The hospital first closed in November 1949, reopened in 1950
during the Korean War, then closed again in June 1957. In March 1962,
the federal government donated the facility to the state to use as a
narcotics center. To help ease overcrowding in the 1980s, CRC began
housing felons as well as civil narcotic addicts.
CRC is the only California prison that houses both male and female inmates within a shared exterior perimeter.
