In 2026, California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) is set to close, marking the fifth prison to close in California since 2020. Today, California’s prison population is lower than it was in 1990.
With robust reentry services and more second chance programming across the state, we can continue to bring people home from incarceration successfully and create pathways away from prison and into our communities.
We are grateful to Governor Newsom for continuing his plan to close prisons across California, proving we don’t need to invest in prisons to create public safety.
