A court has granted the city of Susanville, California, a preliminary injunction to pause current attempts at closing California Correctional Center (CCC), a prison in Susanville that the state wishes to shut down.
Many people from Lassen County gathered in front of the California State Capitol on Aug. 27 to rally against closing CCC. The labor union SEIU Local 1000 organized the rally to support CCC employees and to oppose the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s (CDCR) decision to close the prison.
