Program Descriptions
25 - ADULT OPERATIONS
The Department is statutorily required to accept convicted felons and civilly committed non-felon narcotic addicts who have been sentenced to imprisonment in a state correctional facility. The objective of the Adult Operations program is to provide safe and secure detention facilities to protect society from further criminal activities and to provide necessary services such as feeding, clothing, record keeping, inmate classification assessments, and employee training.
The Adult Operations program consists of 33 operating correctional institutions, 12 of which have reception centers. The program is responsible for 13 community correctional facilities, 6 California out-of-state correctional facilities, and 44 conservation camps, which perform public conservation projects including, but not limited to, forest fire prevention, watershed management, and soil conservation. Secure Reentry Program Facilities will also be managed by Adult Operations. This program is also responsible for performing facility and asset management services at state-owned institutions, facilities and camps.
The program also includes a full continuum of evidence-based substance abuse treatment, including 39 in-prison therapeutic community substance abuse treatment programs in 22 institutions.
