Document Description
In response to projected deficiency in the number of male inmate beds in the statewide prison system, the California Legislature passed AB 900, the Public Safety and Offender Rehabilitation Services Act of 2007. As the lead Agency, the CDCR is proposing to provide housing for additional inmates at the California Correction Institution (CCI). The proposed project would result in the construction of an approximately 110-acre stand-alone facility with its own perimeter fencing. The facility would consist of two Administrative Segregation Housing Units; a Reception Center Facility; and a Level IV facility for a maximum total of 2,200 new beds. In addition, the proposed project would include support services buildings, educational and vocational program space, health care facilities, food service, and visiting facilities. Approximately 830 new staff would be added.
