Good evening,

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has released its Infrastructure Master Plan, a 20-year roadmap to address aging infrastructure and support more modern correctional environments across the state.

CDCR operates 31 institutions, many of which are more than 50 years old. These facilities were not originally designed for today’s correctional needs, including rehabilitation, health care, accessibility, and staff wellness. Decades of deferred investment have created significant infrastructure challenges that affect daily operations across the system.

The Infrastructure Master Plan provides an assessment of existing infrastructure conditions and a long-term framework to assess facility conditions, prioritize investments, and guide modernization. The initial five-year planning focus concentrates on significant infrastructure assessment and modernization efforts at five institutions: California Medical Facility; Central California Women’s Facility; Sierra Conservation Center; California State Prison, Corcoran; and California Institution for Men.

The Plan, supporting materials, and appendices are available at: CDCR Infrastructure Master Plan - Facility Planning, Construction and Management (FPCM)

May 2026, CDCR has updated its Restricted Housing Unit regulations to address safety and security needs while maintaining key elements of the 2023 RHU framework. These updates are targeted, evidence-based adjustments in response to increases in violence and overdoses and are not a rollback of prior reforms.

Individuals in RHU continue to have access to programming, required out-of-cell time and rehabilitative opportunities. They may also earn credits that reduce their RHU term only, not their overall sentence.

The updated regulations include changes related to privilege group designation and tablet access, including the potential for short-term tablet restrictions based on behavior and security considerations. Tablets remain available for programming, education, legal access and other essential services remain active.

The updated regulations do not change current RHU housing practices, which remain based on case-by-case decisions and available housing configurations.

Below are answers to common questions about the updated regulations.
