Centinela State Prison

The jury describes a November 6, 2025 inspection, rehabilitation programs, housing, education and medical services. Three findings combine favorable operational observations with concerns about dining-area staffing and gate coverage. Two recommendations call for increased dining staffing and continuous gate staffing, especially during peak hours. The report states no response is required because the prison is a state agency. No agency response is supplied; favorable inspection language does not independently establish comprehensive safety or long-term program outcomes. This unchanged annual original contains the investigation on physical PDF pages 20–23, matching printed pages 20–23.
