Locate Parlin Fork Camp Inmates

Parlin Fork Camp Overview

Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6 is operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and CAL FIRE. CDCR lists it as a minimum-security conservation and fire camp at 23000 Highway 20 in Fort Bragg. The camp is in Jackson Demonstration State Forest, about 11 miles east of Fort Bragg, and CDCR describes it as the oldest fire camp in Northern California and the second oldest in California.

This facility holds sentenced CDCR minimum-custody incarcerated people assigned to fire crews and camp-support jobs. It is not the place to search for a person who was just arrested in Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits, or another Mendocino County community. Recent arrestees should be checked through the Mendocino County Jail booking log. Parlin Fork records move through CDCR because custody is state sentenced custody, not local pretrial custody.

Parlin Fork Inmate Search

Search for a Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6 inmate through CDCR CIRIS, the California Incarcerated Records and Information Search. CIRIS is the statewide locator for sentenced people in CDCR custody. It can show CDCR number, name, age, current location, commitment county, admission date, parole eligibility when available, and Board of Parole Hearing information when applicable. It does not show Mendocino County jail booking numbers, local bond, county charges, or local jail mugshots.

1. Open CDCR CIRIS.
2. Search by CDCR number if known, or use last name with optional first name and middle name.
3. Add an age range or commitment county only when needed to narrow similar names.
4. Review the current location field to confirm whether CDCR lists Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6.
5. If no result appears, call the CDCR Identification Unit at (916) 445-6713 as noted in state guidance.

The statewide CDCR search interface is the proper visual reference for this facility type. The CDCR CIRIS search page is used for sentenced state custody and commitment-county filtering, not for local jail booking searches.

The CIRIS image reflects the lookup route for Parlin Fork because CDCR custody follows a statewide locator rather than the Mendocino County Booking Log.

Parlin Fork Camp Contact

Contact should be routed to the camp or to CDCR depending on the question. A family member checking current location, visit rules, mail format, or money rules should confirm details with the facility and CDCR before travel or sending anything. A person looking for a recent Mendocino County arrest should use the county booking log first because Parlin Fork has no public local booking desk for new county arrestees.

Parlin Fork Custody Type

CDCR and CAL FIRE conservation camps are not general local jails. The research identifies Parlin Fork as a minimum-security fire camp for sentenced CDCR minimum-custody incarcerated people. CDCR's conservation camp FAQ describes screening for camp eligibility, including minimum custody, volunteer participation, and disqualifying issues such as certain sex offenses, arson, escape history, active warrants, medical issues, and high-notoriety cases.

The custody stage controls the record source. A person arrested in Mendocino County may first appear in the county booking log with local jail fields, then move through court, sentencing, and CDCR reception before any state locator entry points to a camp. Parlin Fork should be treated as a possible current state location only after CDCR has accepted and assigned the person. It should not be used as a shortcut for checking new arrests, bail, local charges, or county release status.

Parlin Fork Camp Visits

Visitation, mail, phone, and money at Parlin Fork follow CDCR and camp procedures, not Mendocino County Jail rules. The research did not capture a Parlin Fork-specific public visiting schedule table. Because conservation camp assignments, fire crew work, transport, classification, and safety needs can affect availability, visitors should verify approval, visiting status, identification rules, and scheduling through CDCR and the camp before travel.

Do not use county jail visiting or commissary rules for a Parlin Fork inmate. A person at Parlin Fork is in CDCR custody, so CDCR approval, scheduling, institutional rules, and camp operations control the visit path.

Parlin Fork Mail and Money

The research confirms that mail, phone, visitation, and money rules for Parlin Fork follow CDCR and camp procedures. It does not provide a Parlin Fork-specific mail format, deposit vendor, per-call rate, or fee table. Families should confirm the person's CDCR number, current location, and current CDCR rules before sending funds or mail. The county jail lobby kiosk and mycarepack.com route are not documented for Parlin Fork.

Parlin Fork Fire Camp Work

Parlin Fork's identity is tied to conservation camp work. CDCR says incarcerated people at the camp live in open dormitories and may be assigned to fire crews or camp support positions. Support work can include cooks, porters, landscapers, laundry workers, clerks, maintenance workers, mechanics, and support activity workers. The camp model is different from a county jail housing unit because the people there have already entered the state system and passed camp screening.

That difference affects records. The county jail roster can show arrest charges, booking origin, bond fields, and a local booking number. CIRIS can show state custody location, CDCR number, commitment county, admission date, parole eligibility, and parole board information when available. Searchers should use both systems only when the custody path is unclear, such as a recent arrest followed by sentencing and transfer.

About Parlin Fork

CDCR lists Parlin Fork as established August 8, 1949. Its location in Jackson Demonstration State Forest makes it a Mendocino County state custody facility with a distinct public-safety role. The camp provides fire suppression and community-work crews through the CDCR and CAL FIRE partnership. Research also identified Lt. C. Vandyke as Camp Commander and Sgt. T. Thomison as Assistant Camp Commander on the CDCR facility page captured for this build.
