Antelope Camp 25 is a minimum-security facility under CDCR supervision, this camp plays a crucial role in supporting government agencies during emergency responses to wildfires, floods, and other natural or man-made disasters. Additionally, camp crews contribute to park maintenance, assist with flood mitigation through sandbagging, and participate in reforestation projects. Participation in the Conservation (Fire) Camp Program is entirely voluntary for incarcerated individuals. Those who choose to volunteer must meet specific eligibility criteria aimed at ensuring public safety. These include avenues for criminal record expungement, creating new pathways for employment, and aiding in their successful reintegration into society.
Antelope Camp #25, situated adjacent to CDCR-California Correctional Center, the collaborative effort between the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), serves a crucial role in firefighting operations within the Lassen Modoc Ranger Unit and Plumas County areas. Established in February 1963, the camp's primary mission is to provide incarcerated hand crews for firefighting efforts.
Under this partnership, CDCR assumes responsibility for the supervision, care, and discipline of the incarcerated hand crews, while CAL FIRE maintains the camp, oversees the hand crews' work, and ensures their custody during daily project activities. In situations requiring response beyond the local area, CDCR staff may accompany the incarcerated hand crews to provide necessary care and custody.
In addition to firefighting duties, incarcerated fire crews at Antelope Camp are engaged in valuable conservation and community service projects, with CAL FIRE guiding project selection. These projects encompass a variety of initiatives, including public services for Fish & Game, fire defense improvements for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), public recreation initiatives for local government entities, and public service endeavors for Cal Trans.
One noteworthy in-camp project is the CAL FIRE Canvas Shop, which produces web gear for firefighters statewide, benefiting crews and staff across the State. This initiative underscores Antelope Camp's commitment to supporting firefighting efforts both within and beyond its immediate vicinity.
Furthermore, Antelope Camp offers a range of rehabilitative and educational services to its participants, aligning with CDCR standards. These include substance abuse programs such as Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA), religious programs, and access to GED and college courses. These services aim to equip incarcerated individuals with valuable skills and knowledge, fostering personal growth and preparing them for successful reintegration into their communities upon release.
The collective efforts of incarcerated individuals at Antelope Camp not only contribute to firefighting and community service projects but also cultivate a strong work ethic and sense of self-worth. These activities play a crucial role in facilitating the successful reintegration of participants into society, underscoring the camp's commitment to rehabilitation and community reintegration.

Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee.
