Classrooms, such as this one at CSP-Corcoran, are one of many places inmates are able to improve their chances of success when reintegrating back into the community.

CDCR and California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) published new mission and vision statements last month that better align with our Agency’s direction. The statements reflect our responsibility to prepare individuals to return to society with the tools they need to be healthy and productive members of their neighborhoods and families. The Secretary and Receiver will hold a town hall on live video in March to discuss the Agency’s direction and to answer your questions. More information on this event will be coming soon.

You can help get the message out about our new mission and vision by designing a poster that will be distributed statewide. We ran a similar contest last year to design a poster for the Integrated Substance Use Disorder Treatment (ISUDT) program and received many excellent submissions, one of which was chosen and will be distributed soon. Please submit your mission and vision poster concept for consideration by Friday, March 13, to CDCR2020@cdcr.ca.gov. One poster will be chosen live and announced by the Secretary and Receiver during the upcoming webcast. The winning poster will be distributed and displayed statewide at all institutions and offices.

Poster must mention the following attributes of the program:

Final language for the poster will be coordinated with winning designer. Please submit poster concepts to CDCR2020@cdcr.ca.gov in a PDF or JPG file format. Poster will be printed in half poster (18” x 24”) and full poster (24” x 36”) sizes. Please design accordingly and do not use copyrighted images without permission.
