Title

Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) at the California Medical Facility (CMF)

Description

To address mental health care needs incompliance with court requirements, CDCR is proposing to construct an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) at the California Medical Facility (CMF). The proposed ICF would provide up to 64 inpatient mental health beds, as well as space for treatment and administrative and support services. The 44,000sf. facility would be constructed on existing CMF property, as would an associated parking lot with approx. 200 spaces. The existing secure perimeter, consisting of fencing and a perimeter road, would be expanded at the location of the ICF to enclose the new facility within the larger existing prison. Other improvements associated with the project include the extension of existing water, sewer, natural gas, and electrical infrastructure to the new facility. The area of disturbance for the ICF and all associated components (including the parking lot) would total approx. 9 acres. The project has the potential to increase the capacity of CMF by 64 inmates, from an existing population of approx. 3,047 inmates to a future population of approx. 3,111. Staffing increases associated with the new facility would consist of as many as 163 new positions spread over three shifts.
