CMF Release Records

Releases from CMF

California Medical Facility, or CMF, is listed by CDCR at 1600 California Drive, Vacaville, CA 95687, with main phone 707-448-6841. It is locally important because it is inside Solano County, but it is not operated by the Solano County Sheriff's Office. A release from CMF belongs to the CDCR state-prison system. The Solano jail booking logs and active in-custody locator do not confirm CMF release or discharge unless there was a separate county jail event.

CMF release outcomes can be more complex than an ordinary county jail release because the facility has a medical role. The research notes that a person may be discharged, paroled, transferred to another CDCR institution, moved to a hospital or court hold, or released to county PRCS or parole supervision. The release trail may involve CDCR case records, Board of Parole Hearings schedules or results, DAPO parole instructions, Solano County Probation for PRCS, or court orders that affect custody.

The agency line is the most important rule. Solano County has county jails in Fairfield and CDCR prisons in Vacaville. A person released from CMF is not a Claybank, Stanton, or Justice Center release unless the person was also booked by the county sheriff. For CMF, start with CDCR CIRIS and CDCR records. Then use BPH, DAPO, PRCS, or court records depending on what the CDCR record shows.

Confirm a CMF Release

Use CDCR CIRIS for current CDCR custody information. CIRIS is described by the state as showing name, CDCR number, age, current location, commitment counties, admission date, and Board of Parole Hearing dates and outcomes for incarcerated persons currently in CDCR custody. That current-custody emphasis is important. If a CMF person has already been discharged or moved out of current public visibility, CIRIS may not be the final historical release record.

1. Search CDCR CIRIS by CDCR number when known, or by the person's name details.
2. Confirm whether current location shows CMF, another CDCR facility, or no current CDCR public result.
3. Check BPH hearing schedules and results if the case involved parole suitability.
4. Identify whether the release route is DAPO parole, county PRCS, discharge, transfer, medical movement, or court hold.
5. Use CDCR contacts for records that CIRIS does not show.

Do not use the county jail Projected Release Date field for CMF. CDCR and BPH use different date concepts, including EPRD, MEPD, NPED, YPED, and EPED depending on sentence and eligibility type. A medical movement or transfer may also interrupt a simple release-date assumption.

CMF Records and Contact

Use CMF for facility contact and CDCR for statewide custody records. CDCR's Identification Unit can help with incarcerated-person information, and CIRIS is the official public search starting point. For parole-hearing participation or notification context, CDCR Victim Services is a separate channel listed in the research.

A CMF records inquiry should include the person's name, CDCR number if available, date of birth if known, approximate custody dates, and the facility name. Ask for the release, discharge, transfer, or parole/PRCS routing information that is publicly available. If the person was moved to a court hold or another medical setting, the CDCR file may only be one part of the trail.

About California Medical Facility

CMF is a state prison and medical facility. It is one of the two CDCR prisons in Vacaville, alongside California State Prison, Solano. This local pairing is a major reason Solano pages must avoid treating every local release as a county-jail release. A person may be physically in Solano County but legally in state prison custody.

For people housed at CMF, release and transfer facts can depend on CDCR classification, medical status, sentence calculations, parole eligibility, court action, and supervision routing. The public page should not promise a single release list or fixed local phone answer. It should point users to CIRIS first, then CDCR records, BPH, DAPO, PRCS, or court records as the facts require.

Medical and Transfer Questions

CMF's medical role means that a change in public location is not always a release. It may be a transfer, hospital movement, court hold, or another CDCR action. The release-confirmation question should use precise wording: was the person discharged from CDCR, paroled, transferred, moved for medical reasons, or released to PRCS? Each answer points to a different record and contact.

For post-release supervision, CDCR DAPO handles state parole. County PRCS is handled by a county probation department when the person meets PRCS criteria. If the person returns to Solano County under PRCS, Solano County Probation may be relevant, but the release still begins as a CDCR release from CMF.

BPH and CMF Release Context

Parole-hearing records may appear through the Board of Parole Hearings for qualifying cases. Schedules and results are separate from actual physical release. BPH result terminology can include Grant, Deny, Continue, Cancelled, Split, Postpone, Waive, and Stip, and a grant is subject to review before becoming final. For CMF, pair BPH information with CDCR release processing and supervision instructions before drawing a conclusion.

For a CMF person who no longer appears in CIRIS, use the absence cautiously. The person may be discharged, transferred, moved for medical reasons, or outside the current public population search. A CDCR records contact, BPH result, or supervision instruction gives a stronger answer than treating a missing public result as proof of a specific release type.

If the person returns to a Solano County case after a CMF movement, use the court branch and case number to connect the state-prison record to the local matter. The state prison record explains CDCR custody. The court file explains any local order that caused a transport, resentencing, hearing, or change in legal authority.
