Cancel the closure of California Correctional Center (CCC)

The Issue

Closing CCC will be devastating to the economy in Lassen County. More than 1,000 jobs will potentially be lost due to this closure. It brings over $130 million in revenue to our town every year, which supports everything that our community has. This prison facility trains inmates to fight fires which is imperative in California right now with the horrible fire season that's already begun. CDCR states that closing CCC will save the state $122 million per year, but CCC is 1 of 3 prison facilities that operates in the black every year. CCC is already saving CDCR millions just by being open.
