California to close Riverside County prison, deactivate other facilities

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is moving forward with a plan to close a prison in Riverside County, deactivate several other facilities and discontinue the use of another property that is currently being used as a prison. 

The prison that will be closing is Chuckawalla Valley State Prison, one of two prisons in Blythe, with a targeted closing date set at March 2025.
