Facilities
Although the official California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation gives a mailing address for CIW in the city of Corona in Riverside County, the prison has been physically located in the city of Chino since 2003 following an annexation of land in previously-unincorporated San Bernardino County.
CIW has 120 acres (49 ha). Its facilities include Level I ("Open dormitories without a secure perimeter") housing, Level II ("Open dormitories with secure perimeter fences and armed coverage") housing, and Level III ("Individual cells, fenced perimeters and armed coverage") housing. In addition, a Reception Center "provides short term housing to process, classify and evaluate incoming inmates."
As of Fiscal Year 2005/2006, CIW had 778 staff and an annual budget of $60 million. As of September 2007, it had a design capacity of 1,325 but a total institution population of 2,511, for an occupancy rate of 189.5 percent.

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
