Parlin Fork Conservation Camp Serving our Community June 25, 2020

Inmates can find a sense of pride and accomplishment carrying out basic camp functions whether it be involvement in the design, construction, and finishing of redwood cabinets, doors, tables, and signage for the State of California and the State Parks system, or performing maintenance on buildings and grounds for contracting agencies.

The camp is jointly managed by CDCR and CAL FIRE, and efficiently provides valuable services to Cities, Special Districts, nonprofits, and County Departments within Mendocino County, at a cost savings. These services may not otherwise be available to districts and agencies in Mendocino County.

The inmates’ community service experience, along with the educational opportunities offered through Lassen college and the Mendocino County bookmobile, help to reduce recidivism in the CDCR. Reports issued by the Grand Jury do not identify individuals interviewed. Penal Code section 929 requires that reports of the Grand Jury not contain the name of any person or facts leading to the identity of any person who provides information to the Grand Jury.
