Rural California could lose thousands of jobs as prisons close. What can the state do?

May 18 Just days after Gov. Gavin Newsom s administration announced a plan to close a prison in Susanville last month, dozens of for sale signs for homes began popping up in a rural Lassen County town. We went from a market where there were no homes, said Patricia Hagata, executive director at the Lassen County Chamber of Commerce. To where we have an overload of homes.
According to the city s latest financial statement, the closure of the California Correctional Center scheduled for June 2022 means Susanville could lose more than a quarter of its workforce jobs that pay upwards of $90,000 in some cases. Some workers could find jobs next door at the High Desert State Prison, but many would have to move. The next closest state prison is more than three hours away in Folsom.
