This law establishes the California Rehabilitation Center and its branches under the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. These branches can be set up in various locations like existing correctional institutions, halfway houses, state institutions, and city or county correctional facilities, as long as they have treatment facilities available. Importantly, these branches should not lead to inferior conditions for state institution patients.
For branches within state hospitals or developmental services, approval is needed from respective directors. Since July 1, 2005, branches in juvenile facilities require the Secretary's direction. City or county facility branches need approval from city or county legislative bodies.
People confined in city or county branches must be housed separately from other prisoners and receive treatment comparable to that at the main California Rehabilitation Center.
There is hereby established an institution and branches, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, to be known as the California Rehabilitation Center. Branches may be established in existing institutions of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Adult Operations, in halfway houses as described in Section 3153, in such other facilities as may be made available on the grounds of other state institutions, and in city and county correctional facilities where treatment facilities are available. Branches shall not be established on the grounds of such other institutions in any manner which will result in the placement of patients of such institutions into inferior facilities. Branches placed in a facility of the State
Department of State Hospitals shall have prior approval of the Director of State Hospitals, and branches placed in a facility of the State Department of Developmental Services shall have the prior approval of the Director of Developmental Services. Commencing July 1, 2005, the branches in the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities shall be established by order of the secretary, and shall be subject to his or her administrative direction. Branches placed in city or county facilities shall have prior approval of the legislative body of the city or county.
Persons confined pursuant to this section in branches established in city and county correctional facilities shall be housed separately from the prisoners therein, and shall be entitled to receive treatment substantially equal to that which would be afforded those persons if confined in the main institution of the California Rehabilitation
Center.

Typically, these temporary releases can't exceed three days unless it's for medical reasons.

More so, the director can decide if someone is suitable for assignment to conservation camp programs based on specific rules.
The Director of Corrections may authorize the temporary removal from the California Rehabilitation Center or any of its branches under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections of any person confined therein. The director may require that such temporary removal be under custody. Unless the person is removed for medical treatment, the removal shall not be for a period longer than three days. The director may require the person to reimburse the state, in whole or in part, for expenses incurred by the state in connection with such temporary removal other than for medical treatment.
Under specific regulations established by the director for the selection of confined persons, the director may authorize assignment to conservation camp programs.

The report must accompany the Governor’s 2016–17 Budget and go to specific legislative committees.

(a)CA Welfare and Institutions Code § 3313(a) The Department of Finance and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall release a report that provides an updated comprehensive plan for the state prison system, including a permanent solution to the decaying infrastructure of the California Rehabilitation Center.

(b)CA Welfare and Institutions Code § 3313(b) The Legislature finds and declares that given the reduction in the prison population, further investment in building additional prisons is unnecessary at this time, and that the California
Rehabilitation Center may be closed without jeopardizing the court-ordered prison population cap.
