California Correctional Center, Susanville, CA

California Correctional Center - Mission Statement

The primary mission of the California Correctional Center is to receive, house, and train minimum-custody inmates for placement into one of the institution's 18 Northern California conservation camps. Working collaboratively with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, these camps are strategically located throughout the north state to provide fire suppression hand crews, as well as an organized labor force for public conservation projects and other emergency response needs of the State. Services provided through the conservation camp program historically amount to many millions of dollars in value to the public. Work projects associated with conservation camps support municipal, county, State, and federal government agencies, including schools, parks, cemeteries, and public recreation areas.

The secondary mission of the California Correctional Center is to provide meaningful work, training, and education programs for inmates who do not meet the criteria for assignment to a conservation camp. These alternative assignments include academic and vocational trade programs, facility maintenance jobs, food service positions, and other facility support assignments.

The California Correctional Center offers a wide assortment of positive leisure-time activities, including numerous self-help improvement programs, such as literacy, addiction recovery, veterans' affairs, religious services, and athletic programs.

:idea: *** If you order CD's from Barnes and Noble (or any other vendor), they will count as a Quarterly Package. You CANNOT send CDs in a "special package".:idea:


***Magazines & Paperback Books can also be ordered, however they must come directly from the vendor. I often go to Barnes and Noble in my area and pick out magazines or books. They ship them for me to the prison at a reasonable cost.

:new: Amazon.com is NOT an approved vendor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


:) Quarterly Packages:

The California Inmate Quarterly Package system allows you to send much-desired items to your incarcerated loved one. Each institution sets it’s own rules as to what items are allowed and prohibited and items vary by privilege groups. As a result, vendors therefore provide services to a limited amount of Facilities, Camps, CCF’s or the LA County Jail System. All Quarterly Packages are limited to a maximum weight of 30 Lbs. Nor can they exceed dimensions of 24” x 24” x 24”. All vendors list those institutions for which they provide goods and services and what privilege groups.

:) Special Packages:

Special Packages allow for the purchase of Electronics, Accessories, Musical Instruments, Under Garments and Clothing, Correspondence Courses, Legal Material and Faith Based Items. That would otherwise crowd a quarterly package beyond its allowed weight or dimensions. There is no limit to the amount of special packages allowed in a calendar year. *** Please call the R&R department (530)-251-5150 before sending a special package. Make sure what you plan on sending is allowed for this prison.***



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Quarter = January 1st - March 31st

2nd Quarter = April 1st - June 30th

3rd Quarter = July 1st - September 30th

4th Quarter = October 1st - December 31st

*****


:) Release (Parole/Dress-Out) Clothing




Inmates scheduled for parole or awaiting discharge may receive a release clothing package via U.S. Postal Service or common carrier no earlier than 30 days prior to their scheduled parole or discharge date. Inmate release clothing packages, limited to one set of clothing, shall be retained in a secure location by the department until their release.

Items you CAN send to CCC:


:) Postal Stamps 40 per shipment,- Stamps may be sent anytime and stamp purchases do NOT affect QP/SP orders.
:) Photos, no nudity or depictions of criminal activity, no poloroids(no larger than 8x10)
:) Greeting cards (plain, no foil, glitter, metal springs, etc.)

Before you can visit an inmate, you will need to be approved. Your inmate must send you a visiting form (CDC 106). This form MUST be signed by your inmate before he sends it you you. Once you receive your visiting questionnaire, fill it out TRUTHFULLY and don't leave any questions blank. Then, once you are finished, send your completed questionnaire to:

Attn: Visiting Sergeant
California Correctional Center
P.O. Box 790
Susanville, CA 96127

(Currently the Visiting Officer is Lt. Gratriex, pronounced Gray-tricks)

The average wait for a response is 6-8 weeks, from the time your application is received by the visiting staff. In some cases, it takes longer than 8 weeks. I suggest calling the visiting department if your wait is longer than 8 weeks, and find out if your application has been received. They will NOT tell you if you have been approved or disapproved over the phone. It is the responsibility of the inmate to relay that information to you. If you are APPROVED, the inmate will be notified. If you are DISAPPROVED, the inmate will be notified AND you will be mailed a written response with details of the denial.

Reasons for DISAPPROVAL include (but are not limited to):

:( Lying on your application
:( Being a Convicted Felon (you must have prior written approval from the warden before stepping on prison grounds)
:( Leaving Questions Blank
:( Having UNPAID tickets (of ANY kind)
:( Having Outstanding Warrants
:( Being on Active Parole/Probation (you will need prior approval from the Warden)

************************************************** ***************************************

You’re Approved!! It’s time to visit your inmate. Here’s what you need to know: (this information comes straight from an experienced CCC visitor, Matts_Dad)

Institution Name: California Correctional Center Susnaville

Institution Yard: Cascade

Yard Level: 2

Appointment Required: Not for contact visits

Must Line up to Obtain a Number: No real line you get your number at the friendship house and wait there until your number is called. The friendship house is on the right side as you enter the visitor parking lot and they open at 7:30 am.

Parking Lot Line Up: None

Contact or Non-Contact: Contact

Visiting Days and Hours: 8:30 to 2:30 They start calling numbers at 8:00 (SATURDAY, SUNDAY, and most MAJOR HOLIDAYS)

Length of Visit Allowed: Whole time for contact visits

* Special Notes: Visiting staff is nice, helpful, and professional. Inmates can't handle $ or use the vending machines. When it gets busy during the summer, and especially on holidays, there is a line (of cars) that forms at the end of Levitt Lane where it ends at Center St. During the busy times, I would recommend getting in line between 6:30 and 7:00 am to get a low number for visiting. We visited at Susanville CCC 3 times before our son was sent to a fire camp. Twice there was little or no line. The third time was fathers day weekend (last year) and there was a line. So please keep this in mind.


************************************************** ************************************************** ****

Here is some additional information (taken directly from the CDC Inmate Visiting Guidelines):thumbsup: :

Need transportation from Reno to Susanville, CA? The information below comes straight from PTO member Ry*sgrl. Thank you for this helpful information! :D

:idea: Budget Chauffeur (http://www.nostressexpress.com/) (located at the reno airport at ground transportation) $150 one way. Going to susanville they at least need like 48 hours notice. They don't have specific times, you can use them whenever. (775)885-7550

:idea: Sage Stage (http://www.billbra.com/modoc/) (located in Alturas,but they do pick up/ drop off at reno) $20 one way. They only run fridays, mondays, and wednesday. On friday they pick up at the reno airport at 2:00pm & take you to susanville, they drop you off at the bus stop at the walmart in susanville. They pick you up at that same bus stop on monday at 8:00am....They need at least 24 hour notice. (530)233-6410, *** I personally recommend them!!:thumbsup:

Release Day/Bus Information for CCC/HDSP/ANTELOPE FIRECAMP #25 - Susanville

All inmates are charged $70 to take the shuttle bus from Susanville to Sacramento Greyhound Bus Station.
The name of the shuttle is Lassen Transport. It leaves CCC between 8:00 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. It stops in Reno to drop off small freight packages before continuing to Sacramento. There are no other stops. Depending on road work, the shuttle usually arrives in Sacramento around 1:00 P.M.

All inmates at CCC/HDSP sign a special condition of parole stating they can Not get off the shuttle in Nevada. This was agreed to by CDC and the Governor some years back after some parolees caused some problems in Reno. Now, the morning the inmates parole, the CCC/HdSP fax a picture of everyone getting on the shuttle to the RENO PD. It is an automatic parole violation for a parolee to get off the shuttle in Nevada.

The prisons do not purchase bus tickets for the inmates. You can purchase advanced Greyhound bus tickets either online or by phone, or at any Greyhound station. The inmate can also purchase tickets on the day of release. How To Purchase Tickets (http://www.greyhound.com/travel_information/purchase.shtml) , also Fares. (http://www.greyhound.com/deals/go_anywhere_fares.asp)

This is the Greyhound Bus Station where they are dropped off.

If you would like to make an Airline Reservation, the inmate needs to take a bus or Taxi to the Sacramento Airport (SMF),(at his own expense) which is about 15 miles from the bus station..make your reservation for anytime after 3:00 P.M. to make sure he has plenty of time to arrive at the airport and check in. SouthWest Airlines (http://www.southwest.com/)seems to be the cheapest if you make advanced reservations. The only ID they require is Prison ID or release papers..Other instructions are on their website.

All inmates are given $200 gate money when released..Please plan ahead and make sure your loved one has release clothes, otherwise he will be charged for clothing, and enough money to safely arrive at his destination. You can send money through JPAY (https://www.jpay.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Default.aspx), or send a postal money order.



Thank You JLS.
