California maintains their own state prison system, facilities which consists of every security level; maximum, medium, and minimum, as well as facilities that focus on sober living, and halfway houses that prepare inmates for life outside of prison.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is where offenders are sent that have been convicted of felony crimes of murder, rape, assault, serious thefts and drug related offenses. These are offenses of at least one year, and all the way up to life imprisonment. California also has a death row, which they call the 'Condemned Inmates' with over 725 murderers at any one time waiting to be executed.
The California Division of Juvenile Justice recently shut down all of their juvenile detention facilities for juvenile offenders who have been convicted of serious crimes. They are not sure what to do with serious offenders at this time.
