This facility is for adult inmates.
The inmates housed at Trinity River Adult Fire Camp located at 3325 Pettijohn Rd in Lewiston, 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 – Trinity River Conservation Camp #3 was opened May 1988. The Camp is jointly operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL-FIRE). The primary mission of the camp is to provide inmate fire crews for fire suppression, principally in the Trinity, Shasta, and Siskiyou County areas. In addition to fire suppression, inmate hand crews provide a work force for floods, conservation projects, and community services for Local, State, and Federal government agencies. CC #3 In-camp projects include a saw mill, and a mill and cabinet shop where the inmate crews build and repair office furniture, construct wood signs, and fabricate picnic benches for tax supported, government agencies. Additionally, Trinity River Conservation Camp has a Mobile Kitchen Unit, which provides feeding for thousands of fire fighters during emergency assignments on fires, flood control and natural disasters.
The CDCR is responsible for the security, supervision, care, and the discipline of the inmates. CAL-FIRE maintains the camp, supervises the work of the inmate hand crews and the mobile kitchen unit, and is responsible for the custody of inmates on their CAL-FIRE project activities. CDCR staff may accompany the fire crews to provide for security and care of the inmates while they are away form the camp on fires, floods, or other emergency assignments. Inmates must be directly supervised 24 hours a day while on work projects and while away on emergency incidents.
Community service projects – During the 2009 calendar year the Trinity River Conservation Camp, through Conservation and work projects, provided the local communities with 67,984work hours to Local, State and Federal government agencies. In addition to project and conservation work, the inmate fire crews provided 83,800 hours in fire fighting and other emergency work. It is estimated through the emergency responses to fires, other emergencies, and project work, the CDCR inmates at Trinity River Conservation Camp #3 provided a cost avoidance to the taxpayers of California of$1,347,880.00.
The benefit to taxpayers from inmate labor at Trinity River CC #3 is anticipated to increase in the calendar year 2010 and beyond should the CC #3 inmate population remain steady throughout the year.
