The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on Tuesday, Dec. 6, announced it will close two prisons — one in Blythe and another in Kern County that is the state’s last privately run prison — and deactivate facilities at six other prisons due to budget cuts and an inmate population reduction plan.
