• STATE SECRETS: A REPORT TO THE TAXPAYER      I turned to re-enter the rest room when I saw the inmate trustee, who was the Personnel cook, sitting on the couch across the hall. ... This inmate was a trustee who, through the prison classification committee (three to five high ranking prison officials who establish the custody levels of inmates), had been determined to be a very low escape risk, so he was given a gate pass, for the purpose of entering lower security areas, and assigned to the Personnel Snack Bar.
•      To my knowledge, this was the first and last time a stunt, such as Dixson had just perpetrated, had ever been executed by any supervisor towards a staff member in this prison's 57 year history, since its opening in 1941. The question that loomed in my mind, even to this day, was why Sergeant Dixson would steal MY protective equipment while I sat on the commode, and allow the Inmate cook to retain a full set of state issued food preparation utensils, including several large formidable butcher knives. ...
• Heard, retired Homicide Detective, now working as a Private Investigator, conducted an interview with this inmate on January 23, 1997 at Chuckawalla Valley State Prison. ...

• Originally intended as a means to facilitate the offender's successful return to community life after release from prison, California's parole system has become little more than a perfunctory bureaucratic ritual. ...
• The state's parole board is comprised of nine gubernatorial appointees who have little background in parole practice or reform. Instead, they pursue a one-dimensional approach that routinely returns offenders to prison for the slightest infraction. ...
• Instead, offenders were returned to prison for an average of five months -- only to be released again into the same circumstances -- at a cost of more than $890 million to the state taxpayers. ...
• This wasteful approach is popular with the politically powerful prison guards' union, who steadfastly oppose any attempts at reform. In February, guards at Chuckawalla Valley State Prison vigorously protested the warden's attempt to institute an inmate college education program (such programs have been proven to increase parole success rates). ...
• High parole revocation rates ensure a stable prison population that maintains staffing patterns, which are determined by an established ratio of guards to inmates. ... California prisons have been overcrowded for the past 10 years, resulting in approximately $6,000 a year in overtime pay for the average prison guard. It is not unusual for some nonmanagement prison staffers to earn more than $100,000 a year. ...
• Justice Department, parole violators in 1999 accounted for 67 percent of California prison admissions -- almost twice the national average. These increases in parole violations have maintained a stable prison population despite substantial declines in crime rates and the passage of Proposition 36, which diverted nonviolent drug offenders to substance abuse treatment instead of jail in 2000. ...
• The state's budget crisis requires policymakers to institute long-overdue reforms that will reduce prison costs and improve inmate success rates. The state Legislature should immediately implement the recommendations of its own nonpartisan legislative analyst office that urges the transfer of parole functions from the state to the counties. ...
• Under the current system, parolees are often denied access to county-run services when they are under state parole supervision. Instead, parolees in need of special services from substance abuse to housing are forced to rely on a narrow range of state-run options offered by the Department of Corrections. ... But the state only provides 45 residential and 50 nonresidential slots to serve this population. ...

• The names of the state’s two oldest prisons, San Quentin and Folsom, recall California’s earliest days. ...
• San Quentin State Prison was established in 1852 on what had been known for decades as Point Quintin, a rocky spit of land jutting into San Francisco Bay named after a local Native American called Quintin, who was either a daring warrior or a notorious thief, depending on which historical account you believe. ...
• In 1850, around the time California became a state, federal mapmakers turned Quintin into the Americanized “Quentin” and replaced Point with “San,” the Spanish word for saint, apparently assuming that the place had been named for St. ... The name of the prison site stuck. ...
• Folsom State Prison was named in the 1880s for the nearby Gold Rush-era town of Folsom east of Sacramento. ...
• During the planning and construction phase, CDC assigns a temporary working name that identifies a new prison by the county where it will be located and, if necessary, the nearest prominent geographical feature. ...
• So the institution known during construction as California State Prison, Riverside County at Wiley’s Well was later renamed Chuckawalla Valley State Prison after its location in the Chuckwalla Valley, which in turn is named for a species of desert lizard called a chuckwalla. (The prison’s name includes the extra “a” that occasionally appears in spellings of the word. ...
• The state’s geography is reflected in many prison names. Mule Creek runs near Mule Creek State Prison. Salinas Valley State Prison and Pleasant Valley State Prison are located in valleys with those names. Pelican Bay State Prison sits just inland from Pelican Bay, the long curving stretch of Pacific coastline running north from Crescent City. High Desert State Prison is located in northeastern California’s high desert country. Central California Women’s Facility sits near the state’s geographical center. ...
• Centinela State Prison is named for a hill west of El Centro called Mt. Signal, one of two proposed sites for the prison. ... During the planning phase, the prison’s working name was California State Prison, Imperial County South — California State Prison, Imperial County had been the working name of Calipatria State Prison, located north of Centinela.
