Female Community Reentry Program

The Female Community Reentry Program (FCRP) allows eligible female individuals with serious and violent crimes, as well as non-serious committed to State prison to serve their sentence in the community at a FCRP as designated by the Department, in lieu of confinement in State prison and at the discretion of the Secretary. The FCRP will provide a range of rehabilitative services that assist with alcohol and drug recovery, employment, education, housing, family reunification, and social support.

Under FCRP, one day of participation counts as one day of incarceration in State prison, and participants in the program are also eligible to receive any sentence reductions that they would have received had they served their sentence in State prison. Participants may be returned to an institution to serve the remainder of their term at any time with or without cause.

Female participants who volunteer for FCRP will be placed into the program with a minimum of 45 days and a maximum of 32 months to participate prior to their release date. All of the participants receiving services through the FCRP will be required to reside at the FCRP program. CDCR will have the final decision regarding program placements and retains the right to remove participants from the program at any time.

CDCR currently has FCRPs at the following locations:

  • San Diego – 82 bed facility
  • Santa Fe Springs – 82 bed facility
  • Bakersfield – 75 bed facility
  • Stockton – 50 bed facility
  • Sacramento – 50 bed facility
  • Los Angeles – 60 bed facility

An incarcerated individual may request FCRP placement by submitting a FCRP Application and Voluntary Agreement (CDCR 2234) to the institutional Community Beds Coordinator or mailing the form to:
