Groves secures release of MCCF to city
Taft Midway Driller
SACRAMENTO – Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) announced Tuesday that her request for the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to release an unoccupied facility back to the City of Taft has been approved.
In the late 1980’s, the state of California needed more bed space to house low level state inmates. Taft Modified Community Center (MCCF) opened in January 1991, beginning as a Return to Custody Facility contracted with CDCR to house 600 inmates.
Now with the CDCR population shift, the Taft Modified Community Correctional Facility is expected to close on May 31, 2021. Senator Grove has worked with the City of Taft and CDCR officials to release the building back to the City of Taft so they may repurpose the soon to be vacant building.

Half of incarcerated people in California prisons who initially rejected a COVID-19 vaccination later agreed to take at least one dose, a finding that could have implications for vaccine hesitancy in the broader population, Stanford researchers say.
“That is an important indication that vaccine hesitancy is not fixed,” said Elizabeth Chin, lead author of a report published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
