Delta Conservation Camp #8, located in Suisun City, CA, is a joint operation between the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). The camp's primary mission is to provide incarcerated fire crews for fire suppression in the Sonoma, Lake, Napa Unit, and Solano County areas, with the ability to be dispatched throughout the state. In addition to fire suppression, the camp's incarcerated hand crews also contribute to conservation projects, providing a valuable workforce for local communities and state agencies.
Delta Conservation Camp #8, which opened in June 1988, is responsible for the security, supervision, care, and discipline of the incarcerated camp participants, while CAL FIRE maintains the camp and supervises the work of the incarcerated fire crews. When not engaged in firefighting, the incarcerated crew members perform conservation and community service projects, including vegetation cleanup, park maintenance, and various work for CAL FIRE facilities and other government agencies. The camp also offers rehabilitative and educational programs, such as substance abuse programs, religious services, and GED and college courses, to support the rehabilitation of the incarcerated individuals.
