CVSP occupies approximately 125 acres within the State of California's 1735-acre property. The groundbreaking for CVSP took place in March 1987, with activation occurring on December 5, 1988. Ironwood State Prison (ISP) is situated adjacent to CVSP and shares a portion of the 1735-acre property.
CVSP's design capacity is 1738, consisting of four Level II Non-Designated Programming Facility Yards and one Level I Non-Designated Programming Facility Yard. The facility maintains various operational units, including a firehouse, water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, vehicle maintenance garage, and a recycling and salvage program (RASP) for CVSP and ISP. Additionally, CVSP provides laundry services through the Prison Industry Authority (PIA) for both facilities.
The firehouse at CVSP is staffed by one fire chief, five fire captains, and ten inmate firefighters. This team responds to local mutual aid calls and provides coverage for both CVSP and ISP. Furthermore, fire department personnel offer training and certification programs for inmate firefighters to prepare them for job placement upon parole.
CVSP offers vocational programs in areas such as air conditioning and refrigeration, auto body and fender, auto mechanics, building maintenance, computer literacy, electrical works, electronics, masonry, office services, plumbing, and welding.

These programs include CBI-Intensive Outpatient, CBI-Outpatient, and CBI-Life Skills, each tailored to the participant's medical classification and assigned SOMS code. All participants undergo medical assessment and are referred to the appropriate CBI class based on their needs.
