[edit] Facilities
The institution is broken up into three (3) facilities: North Facility, Central Facility and South Facility. All offer their own programs to the 6,997 inmate/prisoner population. The prison was designed to only hold 3,301 people (resulting in 212% overcrowding).[2]
The South Facility dates back to 1946, when it was used as "Camp Center" and administered by San Quentin State Prison. Five years later in 1951, the Central Facility opened, and in 1958 the Northern Facility opened. By 1984, an additional dormitory was added to the Central Facility. Three more dormitories were added in 1996, two more to the Northern Facility and one to the Southern Facility.
The Correctional Training Facility covers 680 acres (280 ha). As of 2006/2007, there is a total number of 1,643 staff with an annual budget of $150 million.
