Susanville Prison Center Will Open
February 20, 1963

Gov. Edmund G. Brown announced Monday that the new California Conservation Center at Susanville will begin receiving state prison inmates-trainees this week.

Brown said the $9 million center, designed to train inmates in fire control and conservation work was the first correctional institution of its kind in the world.

The center, with a capacity of 1,200 inmates, will serve as the administrative, supply and training center for the network of state conservation camps in inland Northern California.
