Conclusions 1
-
CL1The Grand Jury believes that CMC, which is the third largest prison in California, appears to be well managed. Staff appeared professional in performing their duties. Moreover, we observed staff and inmates showing respect for one another. Jurors were assured that there are adequate penalties and safeguards in place to restrict the smuggling of tobacco and cigarettes into the institution. Prison management would like to see stiffer penalties imposed by the Legislature on the smuggling or possession of cell phones at CMC and other prisons statewide. The San Luis Obispo County Grand Jury commends the management and staff of the California Men's Colony for their efforts to rehabilitate incarcerated felons in a humane and professional manner. The Prison Industry Authority is commended for their efforts to ensure safe working conditions for CMC inmates, including monitoring noise levels in work areas, and seeking ways to improve airborne particulate removal in sensitive areas of the knitting mill.
