CSP at Solano, nestled in Vacaville, CA, under the jurisdiction of the CDCR, serves as a medium-security correctional facility housing over 5,800 inmates, facing challenges of overcrowding.

Among these units are a treatment center and an administrative segregation unit, indicative of SOL's multifaceted approach to inmate management.

Inmates at SOL have access to a plethora of educational and vocational programs aimed at fostering personal growth and skill development. Educational offerings include adult basic education and GED courses, while vocational training spans various industries such as auto mechanics, welding, computer and electronics repair, masonry, and more. These programs equip inmates with valuable skills essential for their reintegration into society upon release, contributing to their potential for successful rehabilitation.

The institution boasts a diverse array of inmate programs, ranging from academic and vocational to self-help and leisure activities. Inmate leisure time activity groups (ILTAG) offer avenues for personal enrichment, including participation in Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and the Alternatives to Violence Project, among others.

SOL's rich history traces back to its opening in 1984, initially administered under the California Medical Facility.
