This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at CDCR – Owens Valley Adult Conservation(Fire)Camp #26 located at 2781 South Round Valley Road in Bishop, 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
Owens Valley Conservation Camp came into existence in February of 1960 with the location being proposed by the Citizens of Owens Valley. The final decision on the location of the Camp was made in November of that same year with selection of a site located in the “Round Valley”, an area approximately ten miles northwest of Bishop. By September of 1962 groundbreaking had commenced and the Camp was officially named “Inyo-Mono Conservation Camp”. By late October of 1963 the formal dedication and opening of the Camp was held.
Between the years of 1963 and 1982 the operating agency of the Camp varied between the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the California Conservation Corps. Since January 1, 1982 the Camp has been operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in conjunction with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL Fire).
