The California Health Care Facility (CHCF) located in Stockton, California is an intermediate-level medical and mental health care facility for patient-inmates within the California state prison system. By centrally locating inmates with the highest level of medical and mental health care needs in a facility such as this, the state can provide health care to its incarcerated population in a more cost-effective and efficient manner.

Siegfried provided the mass grading plan and pavement detail designs for the entire “inside the fence package” of the project which consists of 1.2 million SF of building space with over 1,700 medical beds. The facility also includes diagnostic and treatment centers, a 13-foot-tall lethal electrified fence, and eleven 45-foot tall guard towers.
CHCF-Stockton is a 1,722-bed intermediate, medical, and mental health care facility for inmate patients of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) prison system. It was designed and constructed to consolidate facilities for long-term medical inmate patients, as well as acute and intermediate mental health inmate patients in one central location for more efficient, safe, and cost-effective delivery of services. The new, sub-acute health care facility will allow California Prison Health Care Services to provide the required constitutional level of care to inmate patients from across the state. The project is designed to create a healing environment based on principles of evidence-based design, which contribute to improvements such as decreased lengths of stay and reduced infection rates.
