GOVERNOR NEWSOM ANNOUNCES HE IS SHUTTING DOWN YET ANOTHER STATE PRISON

By Bob Walsh

 

The California Rehabilitation Center (above) in Norco is being "deactivated," state officials announced Monday. Last November, the Chuckawalla Valley State Prison in Blythe​ officially closed.

 
The state prison facility at Norco in SoCal will be shut down next year assuming Gavin Newsom gets his wish, and he probably will.

The prison started out life as a resort hotel in the early 20th century and was a military hospital during WWII.  The Dept. of Corrections basic training operation was there when I started with them in 1981.  The main building is somewhat old and decrepit.  Since Gavin Newsom's social policies are now so wonderful and crime is down so precipitously in CA (gag gag cough cough puke) we don't really NEED prisons any more, so it's all good.
