Fire camp is a miminum security prison in the CDCR. It is a perk for inmates to have a job that is outside the confines of the prison walls or fences. If your inmate gets to finish his bid at the camp, he will be released from there. Depending on the release conditions, he will likely have a probation officer that he reports to for a period of time. Some inmates get released into society straight from the camp, others might have to spend a few months at a halfway house. His counselor will know exactly what the release arrangements and conditions are before that day comes. If he does not have transportation, they will help him to his next destination.
