CALCTRA, the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority, formerly the California Prison Industry Authority (CALPIA), is a mid-sized public-safety agency based in Folsom, California. It operates as a self-funded state entity focused on rehabilitation through vocational programs for incarcerated individuals, with the aim of helping them become productive contributors when they rejoin their communities. The organization trains participants to develop career skills while producing goods and services for CALCTRA’s customers, and thousands have participated with many graduates pursuing subsequent careers. CALCTRA centers its work on values such as leadership, rehabilitation, professionalism, integrity, teamwork, innovation, safety, and accountability. It positions its approach as cost-efficient for the state and cites lower recidivism as a key outcome, supported by a University of California, Irvine study showing that 85% of participants did not return to custody within three years. Based in the Sacramento region, CALCTRA operates within the public safety ecosystem to provide life-changing training opportunities and deliver products and services to its customers.
