California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Puerta La Cruz Conservation Camp # 14

Puerta La Cruz Conservation Camp #14, jointly operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), is dedicated to providing incarcerated fire crews for fire suppression primarily in San Diego, Imperial, and Riverside Counties. In addition to fire suppression, the camp's incarcerated hand crews also contribute to conservation projects and community service. Established in 1957 as a male inmate camp and later converted to an all-female inmate camp in 1986, Puerta La Cruz Conservation Camp #14 offers rehabilitative and educational services, including substance abuse programs, religious programs, GED and college courses, and various recreational activities. The camp's participants engage in conservation and community service projects, working on assignments determined by CAL FIRE, and contribute to fire defense efforts throughout the year.Generated from the website
