Susanville, CA California Correctional Center (CCC) View
California Correctional Center (CCC) in Susanville, Lassen County, was a California state prison operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). It primarily housed sentenced adult male inmates, including minimum- and medium-security prisoners, and historically supported conservation camp and inmate work programs. It was not a county jail and did not generally hold local pretrial detainees awaiting court. CCC’s role was to house people committed to state custody after conviction, while local arrests and short-term detention in Lassen County are handled through county law enforcement and jail facilities. CDCR has reported the deactivation of CCC, so families should verify current housing and services through official CDCR resources.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at California Correctional Center (CCC)
To find an inmate connected to this facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Public inmate rosters and locator tools typically list identifying details such as name, booking date or admission date, charges or commitment offense information, custody status, and current housing location when available. Records do not always appear immediately after arrest, booking, or transfer; processing can take several hours, and state prison updates may take longer. Because CCC was a CDCR state prison rather than a county jail, the official CDCR locator is usually the best source for current location and custody information. If no result appears, check spelling, try again later, or contact the appropriate CDCR or county records office.
