Norco prison officers seek to keep it open
Los Angeles Times
|September 21, 2025
They say California Rehabilitation Center could help with crowded county jails.
THE California Rehabilitation Center will close by fall 2026, a state agency said, citing savings among factors.
Correctional officers at the California Rehabilitation Center (CRC) in Norco have started writing Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta to keep the prison open, presenting it as an option to alleviate the overpopulation in county jails.
California began placing some convicted felons in county jails in 201, after the Supreme Court ruled that the overcrowding in state prisons resulted in cruel and unusual punishment. Now, according to the lawsuit Bonta brought against Los Angeles County on Sept. 8, the county's jails are overcrowded and uninhabitable.
In March, 878 inmates held at Los Angeles County jailwere convicted felons, according to a Sheriff's Department report. That's 7% ofthe population.
“They're causing the issue by keeping them in counties, so they say their numbers are down, so they’re closing prisons,” said Correctional Officer Jeremiah Rohbock, who wrote the initial letter.
