Avenal State Prison (ASP) is the largest male-only prison in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) state prison system. The structures on ASP's 640 acres include 17 open dorm buildings, six 200-bed open dorm E-bed buildings, six converted gymnasiums, a 100-cell administrative segregation unit, and a 10-bed firehouse. It is a low-medium security or Level 2 prison with open dormitories with secure perimeter fences and armed coverage.  Inmate programs include Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics anonymous, SAP, auto body, metal fabrication, plumbing and electrical, PIA furniture, warehouse and egg production.

eleven inmates from Avenal state prison were hospitalized for injuries sustained during a large fight inside of the prison. Prison officials say the fight broke out around 9 a.m. on Saturday inside two of the general population facilities. Three of the inmates who were injured had to be life-flighted to the hospital believed to be from makeshift inmate-made weapons. None of the prison's staff members were injured in the fight.
