Guinn Details Shafter CCF Closure And Realignment Plan
Shafter CCF will close operations by November with potential future reopen under county contracting rather than state. Realignment shifts felon incarceration to counties starting Oct 1 2011, with counties allowed to use home detention and other tools. Kern County expects about 2000 extra inmates and 300 beds, with state funding about 14 million annually, but funding deemed inadequate.
