Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CDCR\u2019s institutions include housing units, health care space, kitchens, classrooms, utilities, fire and life safety systems, visiting areas, and other infrastructure needed to operate secure facilities 24 hours a day. Many of these facilities are more than 50 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many facilities were built decades ago and have not received the sustained investment needed to meet today\u2019s correctional needs, including rehabilitation, health care, accessibility, cooling, family connection, staff wellness, or reentry preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Infrastructure Master Plan provides a long-term framework to assess facility conditions, prioritize investments, and guide modernization efforts over the next 20 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Why the Plan Is Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aging infrastructure and decades of deferred investments affects daily operations across the system, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Safety and security<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Health care delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Five-Year Planning Focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The first phase of planning focuses on significant infrastructure assessment and modernization efforts at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • California Medical Facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Central California Women\u2019s Facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sierra Conservation Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • California State Prison, Corcoran<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • California Institution for Men<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These institutions were identified based on infrastructure conditions, operational needs, and long-term planning priorities. CDCR will continue to assess other institutions and statewide infrastructure needs as part of future planning cycles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
