Lookup Konocti Camp Inmates

Konocti Inmate Camp Overview

Konocti Conservation Camp #27 is jointly operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and CAL FIRE. It is a CDCR conservation camp in Lower Lake, not the Lake County jail. The facility map treats it as a state-prison type page because it physically holds CDCR incarcerated people in Lake County and uses a separate statewide lookup, visitation, mail, and family-services path.

The camp opened in April 1963. CDCR describes its primary mission as providing incarcerated hand crews that support local, state, and federal agencies during emergencies such as wildfires and floods. Crews also perform conservation projects and community service work throughout the year. The official camp page says Konocti has a Mobile Kitchen Unit and a Mobile Equipment Unit that are regularly dispatched to major campaign fires, and that the camp services emergency fire vehicles in one of the largest heavy equipment garages in the area.

Because Konocti is not a local detention center, it should not be searched through the Lake County Citizen RIMS roster. People at Konocti are sentenced CDCR incarcerated people assigned to a camp setting. New Lake County bookings, court holds, and local jail releases remain a Hill Road Correctional Facility issue until the person is sentenced and transferred to state custody.

Konocti Inmate Population

The research did not locate an official CDCR capacity figure on the Konocti page, so no capacity number is used here. Unofficial bed counts were intentionally excluded. The sourced population fact is the custody type: Konocti houses minimum-custody sentenced CDCR incarcerated people who are assigned to conservation camp work, fire crews, emergency support, community service, and camp programs.

Lake County population statistics should not be blended into Konocti's camp count. Vera's Lake County fact sheet classified the county as having no state prisons for its 2021 county jail and prison summary, while CDCR's facility locator still lists Konocti as a conservation camp facility in Lake County. For lookup purposes, the important distinction is practical. Hill Road uses the county jail roster. Konocti uses the statewide CDCR incarcerated-person locator.

Konocti Inmate CIRIS Lookup

The correct online lookup route for Konocti Conservation Camp #27 is CDCR CIRIS, the California Incarcerated Records and Information Search. CIRIS is a statewide locator for sentenced CDCR custody. CDCR says the search can be run by last name or CDCR number, and the search population page is updated daily. CDCR also warns that CIRIS is informational only and may contain errors or omissions or may not reflect true name, age, CDCR number, current location, or admitted date.

The Lake County jail roster is not the right system for Konocti camp residents. A person may start in Lake County custody at Hill Road after arrest, appear on Citizen RIMS during booking and local court processing, then leave the county roster after a state-prison sentence and CDCR transfer. Once the person is in state custody, use CIRIS and CDCR family-services rules rather than the local jail's pod schedule.

The successful manifest capture for CDCR CIRIS shows the state locator used for Konocti camp inmate lookup.

The locator is statewide, so confirm the result's current location before treating it as a Konocti placement.

1. Open CDCR CIRIS and accept any displayed terms or acknowledgment.
2. Search by the person's last name or by CDCR number when known.
3. Review the result for CDCR number, name, age, current location, and admission details.
4. Confirm that the current location is Konocti Conservation Camp #27 before using camp visiting or mail rules.
5. If the person is not found, contact CDCR locator assistance or check whether the person is still in county custody.

Konocti Inmate Contact

Konocti's contact details come from the official CDCR facility page. The camp lists a phone line and fax line, plus named command staff. Those staff names are useful for identifying the official page, but family members should use the main camp phone or CDCR public contact channels for current visiting, mail, approval, or location questions.

Konocti Inmate Visiting

Visiting a CDCR conservation camp is different from visiting Hill Road. CDCR camp visiting requires state approval and scheduling. The Konocti page points visitors to CDCR's conservation camp scheduling process, so do not use the Lake County pod visitation table for Konocti. A person must be approved through CDCR before a visit is scheduled, and visit rules may change based on camp operations, fire assignments, emergencies, discipline, health rules, or statewide CDCR policy.

Camp assignments can also affect timing. Konocti crews may support wildfires, floods, fuel reduction, trail work, emergency vehicle service, and other public projects. A resident who appears at Konocti in CIRIS may still be subject to CDCR movement, work crew deployment, or restrictions that affect visit availability. Confirm the location through CIRIS and the camp before travel.

Konocti Inmate Mail and Money

Mail, money, packages, and communications for Konocti follow CDCR statewide family and friends services. They do not use Lake County's Access Corrections jail deposits, Hill Road lobby kiosk, Hill Road pod visitation, or local jail mail restrictions. The practical first step is to confirm the person's CDCR number and current location in CIRIS. That number and current location help route mail and reduce the risk of sending funds or correspondence through the wrong system.

CDCR family-services rules can change by institution, custody level, and statewide vendor contract. Do not send jail-style money orders or try to use a Lake County inmate account service for a Konocti resident. If a person has just left Hill Road after sentencing, allow time for CDCR reception and classification records to update before assuming the final camp placement is visible.

Konocti Inmate Camp Intake

Konocti does not book street arrests from Lake County communities. A Lake County arrest normally starts at Hill Road, where jail staff create the booking record, list arresting agency details, and process local court custody. If the person is later sentenced to state prison, the person leaves the local jail process and enters CDCR reception and classification. That transfer can make the county roster stop being the best source.

After state classification, CDCR may assign a person to an institution, camp, or other placement. Konocti residents are minimum-custody sentenced people assigned to conservation camp work. A detainer is a hold or notice from another agency that may affect custody or release, but a Konocti placement itself is a CDCR custody status rather than a Lake County booking status. CIRIS is the correct public locator after that transfer path.

Konocti Inmate Camp Programs

Konocti's work mission is one of the clearest differences between the camp and a county jail. CDCR says conservation camps provide rehabilitative and educational services, including substance-abuse programs, religious programs, GED, and college courses. Work crews also support emergency response and public projects. Konocti projects named in the research include Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest, Sonoma County roads, Northshore Fire Protection, Mt. Konocti Recreation Area, Napa County Fair, U.S. Forest Service Upper Lake, local and county fire stations, shaded fuel breaks, hazard-tree removal, vegetation removal, trails, and campground maintenance.

Local geography matters here. Lake County wildfire and flood response can involve state, county, and federal partners, and Konocti crews are part of that public-safety network. The camp's Mobile Kitchen Unit and Mobile Equipment Unit make it more than a housing site. It is a work camp that can be dispatched during large emergencies while still remaining part of CDCR custody. The Hill Road Correctional Facility page is the better match for local jail booking, bail, and pod visitation questions.
