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.

Camp History – The Alder Conservation Camp was opened in April 1961. The Camp is jointly operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL-FIRE). The Camps primary mission is to provide inmate fire fighting crews for fire suppression activities in the Humboldt-Del Norte Ranger Unit Areas. In addition to fire suppression, inmate hand crews provide a workforce for conservation and community service projects in the local area. In-camp, Alder’ has a CALFIRE Saw Mill and Wood Shop which produce lumber and wood products for tax-supported governmental agencies.

The CDCR is responsible for the selection, supervision, care and discipline of the inmates. CALFIRE maintains the camp, supervises the work of inmate fire crews, and is responsible for custody of the inmate while on their daily CALFIRE project activities. CDCR staff may accompany the inmate fire crew when they respond out of the local area to provide for inmate security, care, and custody when no on emergency assignments to fires and other emergencies. Inmates must have 24 hour per day direct supervision while on work projects and while assigned to emergencies.
