纽森在 Corcoran 州立监狱推出员工主导改造倡议：约100人入住「荣誉宿舍」备重返社会
Corcoran——加州州长纽森10月21日宣布，在位于加州 Kings County 的 Corcoran 市的 California State Prison, Corcoran 强化以改造为重心的「加州模式」（California Model）：州府官员与社区倡导者同日为一处由监狱员工主导的新居住社区揭幕。该社区设在一处此前停用的设施内，被称为「荣誉宿舍」（honor dorm），以问责、建设性人际关系与为出狱后生活做准备为核心原则，州长办公室表示。
这处荣誉宿舍目前约有100名在押人员入住，采用单人牢房与重新设计的共享空间，并提供教育、职业培训、改造课程与就业准备。参与属自愿性质，须符合资格要求，包括安全分类、行为表现与参与课程的准备程度。纽森表示，公共安全并不止于监狱大门：「这意味着既要让人承担责任，也要给他们改变的工具，让他们为工作做好准备、回到社区后能作出贡献。」加州惩教部（CDCR）部长 Jeff Macomber 表示，员工与合作伙伴正把住房、课程与就业准备同明确的问责要求结合起来。
Corcoran 的这一倡议源于「加州模式」在 San Quentin Rehabilitation Center 的规模化实践：纽森2023年提出把 San Quentin 改造成以改造为重心的机构，其8.1万平方英尺的 Learning Center 已于2026年启用，该中心的荣誉宿舍倡议则把原死囚区改建为表彰积极表现的居住环境。州长办公室称，Corcoran 显示这一模式可以在不同类型的监狱环境中继续推广。
州长办公室引述加州惩教部（CDCR）数据称，获得 Rehabilitation Achievement Credits 的人员中，81.5%在出狱三年后未再被定罪；获得 Educational Merit Credits 的为76.7%，参加一般改造课程的为66.7%。发布稿引述的全国研究显示，参加惩教教育课程的人重返监狱的可能性低43%。发布稿还指出，犯罪幸存者团体以近3比1的比例更支持「既问责、又包含防再犯课程」的量刑方式；CDCR 的受害者与幸存者权利服务办公室（OVSRS）协助受害者与幸存者保密登记，以接收通知与服务。
Newsom Launches Staff-Led Rehabilitation Initiative at Corcoran State Prison: Honor Dorm Houses About 100 People Preparing for Reentry
CORCORAN — California Governor Gavin Newsom on October 21 bolstered the state's rehabilitation-focused California Model at California State Prison, Corcoran, a facility in the city of Corcoran in Kings County, California, where state leaders and community advocates marked the opening of a new staff-led housing community known as an honor dorm. The community, built in a previously deactivated facility, centers on accountability, constructive relationships and preparation for life after prison, the Governor's office said.
The honor dorm currently houses approximately 100 incarcerated people, combining single-cell housing and redesigned shared spaces with access to education, vocational training, rehabilitative programming and employment preparation. Participation is voluntary and subject to eligibility requirements, including classification, behavior and readiness to engage in programming. Newsom said public safety does not end at the prison gate. "It means holding people accountable while giving them the tools to change, prepare for a job and return to their communities ready to contribute," he said. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) Secretary Jeff Macomber said staff and partners are connecting housing, programming and employment preparation with clear expectations for accountability.
The Corcoran initiative builds on the California Model first demonstrated at scale through the transformation of San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. Newsom announced the San Quentin vision in 2023, and the center's 81,000-square-foot Learning Center opened in 2026, while its Honor Dorm initiative repurposed former death row housing. The Governor's office said Corcoran shows how the model can develop in a different institutional setting.
According to CDCR data cited by the Governor's office, 81.5% of people who earned Rehabilitation Achievement Credits remained conviction-free three years after release, compared with 76.7% of those who earned Educational Merit Credits and 66.7% of those who participated in general rehabilitative programming. National research cited in the release found that people who participate in correctional education programs are 43% less likely to return to prison. The release also noted that crime survivor groups prefer, by nearly 3 to 1, sentences that hold individuals accountable while including programming that prevents recidivism, and that CDCR's Office of Victim and Survivor Rights and Services (OVSRS) helps victims and survivors register confidentially for notifications and services.
