Camp is another term for "minimum security prison". Depending on the circumstances, as an inmate is nearing their release date, the DOC will "step down" their custody level preparing them for re-entry. This is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing. They would not offer this if they had any trust concerns with this inmate.

the new Administration didn't promote the Act, we have no idea how it'll affect the inmates now that qualify.

it's not the State it's the Judge deciding on the penalty. First-time DUI, no injuries or property damage, our best guess would be probation and maybe some sort of education about drinking and driving.

there is no maximum... i knew guys that were in there for their entire bid. it really depends on the infraction and reason for being sent there... for instance, getting caught with a cell phone got one guy 9 months in the SHU another got 18 months in the SHU

Whatever the reason, it's not a good thing for the inmate.

Things have changed since COVID. What used to be cool in 2019 doesn't fly in 2021. We advise calling them at 209-525-5630 and asking what is allowed now.
