This facility is for adult inmates.

The inmates housed at Gabilan Conservation Camp #38 located at 31801 McCoy Rd in Soledad, CA are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the past criminal history and the length of their sentence). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates, especially ones that show a willingness to learn new things that will prepare them for a better life when they are released. The mission is to promote and prepare the offender to leave in better shape than when they arrived, giving them the best chance to never come back and thus lower the state's recidivism rate.

Camp History – Gabilan was opened in January 1986. The camp’s primary mission is to provide inmate fire crews for fire suppression activities in the Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz County Areas, although the crews may be dispatched anywhere in the State. In addition to fire suppression, the camp supports an MKU (Mobile Kitchen Unit). Inmate fire crews provide a workforce for conservation and community service project areas. The CDF in-camp projects include; Vehicle maintenance/repair, Small Engine and Fire Hose Repair Shop. Products are provided to local tax-supported governmental agencies.
