Parlin Fork Release Search

Where Parlin Fork Releases Go

Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6 is in Mendocino County, but it is not a Mendocino County Sheriff's jail. The Facility Map describes it as a CDCR conservation and fire camp operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in cooperation with CAL FIRE. That means a person leaving Parlin Fork under normal release rules follows the California state-prison system, not the county jail roster, county work-release channel, BOP locator, or ICE locator.

CDCR says Parlin Fork was established August 8, 1949, is the oldest fire camp in Northern California and the second oldest in the state, and is located within Jackson Demonstration Forest approximately 11 miles east of Fort Bragg. Those local facts make it easy for searchers to confuse Parlin Fork with a county facility. The release records do not follow that geography. A Mendocino County searcher should use CDCR/CIRIS, BPH, DAPO, CDCR victim-services notification where eligible, and CDCR records channels.

Where the record goes depends on the state-custody event. While the person remains in CDCR custody, CIRIS may show name, CDCR number, age, current location, commitment counties, admission date, and BPH dates or outcomes. If parole suitability, parole eligibility, or nonviolent parole review is involved, BPH schedules and results may matter. If the person leaves CDCR to parole, DAPO becomes the supervision agency. If the person fully discharges, a public search may require CDCR records or court confirmation because CIRIS is described as a current-custody search.

How to Confirm a Parlin Fork Release

Use the CDCR sequence for Parlin Fork. Do not use the Mendocino County Jail booking log unless the person also had a separate county booking. The jail log can show a county transfer to CDCR, but it does not control the later state release from a conservation camp.

1. Search CIRIS at ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov if the person may still be in CDCR custody. Use name or CDCR number when available.
2. Record the CDCR number, current location, commitment county, admission date, and any BPH hearing dates or outcomes shown.
3. Check BPH hearing schedules and results if the sentence type involves parole suitability, nonviolent parole review, youth parole, elderly parole, or other board action.
4. Use DAPO if the person has been released to state parole. Use county Probation only when the court or CDCR history points to PRCS or a local supervision category.
5. Use CDCR records or victim-services notification when the public search no longer shows the person or when the issue is discharge, transfer, release, death, escape, or parole-discharge notification.

The official BPH vocabulary is more precise than the phrase "projected release date." EPRD means Earliest Possible Release Date for many determinate sentences. MEPD, NPED, YPED, EPED, and controlling parole eligible date apply in other parole-eligibility contexts. For date questions, see Inmate Release Date and California CDCR.

Parlin Fork Records and Contact

The research gives the facility location context but does not provide a public Parlin Fork release-records phone number. For public release verification, use CDCR's public search and statewide CDCR/BPH/DAPO records routes. Use Mendocino County Sheriff contacts only if the question is a local booking before transfer to CDCR or a county jail release, not a state conservation-camp release.

For a records request, be specific: name, CDCR number if known, date of birth if known, commitment county, facility name, and the requested event, such as release date, parole date, discharge date, transfer, or walkaway/apprehension status. CDCR records are separate from Mendocino County NextRequest unless the request concerns the original local jail booking or transfer.

About Parlin Fork Camp

Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6 is a state-custody conservation camp. It is one of the distinctive release angles for Mendocino County because it creates a local physical location with statewide custody records. A person may be housed in Mendocino County at Parlin Fork but still be a CDCR incarcerated person. Searchers should not assume the sheriff's NewWorld booking log will show a release from Parlin Fork.

Conservation-camp custody can involve transfers, fire-camp placement, return to another CDCR institution, parole, discharge, or walkaway/escape status. The official search and record vocabulary should stay state-specific. CIRIS is current-custody oriented. BPH handles parole-suitability and parole-review contexts. DAPO handles parole supervision. CDCR victim-services notification may provide status-change notifications to eligible people for release, death, escape, parole hearing, transfer to another prison, discharge from parole, contract, or scheduled execution.

If a Mendocino Superior Court case sent the person to CDCR, the court record may explain the sentence and commitment county. If a person was first in the Mendocino County Jail and then transferred to CDCR, the jail release record may show a transfer or state-prison commitment. After the transfer, however, the controlling release record is state custody. Use Mendocino Superior Court for the sentencing record and California CDCR for the state release path.

Parlin Fork Record Limits

Parlin Fork release information should be used to verify a custody event, parole route, transfer, or discharge. State records may be incomplete online, updated after court paperwork arrives, limited by confidentiality rules, or visible only to eligible notification requesters. Always verify release, parole, transfer, or walkaway status with CDCR, BPH, DAPO, the court, or the originating agency before relying on it.

CDCR describes Parlin Fork as the oldest fire camp in Northern California and the second oldest in the state, located near Fort Bragg in Jackson Demonstration Forest. That makes it local to Mendocino County geography, but not local to the sheriff's release system. A release, parole eligibility date, or walkaway notice belongs to CDCR records.

If a person leaves Parlin Fork through normal release, the path is CIRIS while in custody, BPH if parole proceedings apply, DAPO if parole follows, and CDCR records for discharge questions. If a person walks away, use CDCR notices and law-enforcement updates. A walkaway is not a release and should never be treated as one in a records search.
