Title

Proposed Mental Health Crisis Facility at the California Institution for Men

Description

CDCR proposes to construct and operate a new MHCF at CIM. Patients are typically transferred to these facilities on a limited-term basis (approximately ten days); when stabilized, the patients are transferred to correctional facilities that provide the required housing and on-going mental health treatment. The new one- to two-story MHCF building would encompass approximately 69,000 gross square feet. The MHCF building would provide space for 50 beds dedicated to patients in mental health crisis, along with mental health care treatment space, clinical support space, housing, recreation, custody, support, and administrative services. Housing, treatment, and support space would be built according to CDCR Design Criteria Guidelines; California Building Standards Code; California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24; mental health licensing; and other state design policies and regulations.
