Beryl,

My sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I belief there may have been some miscommunication between departments regarding your request.

After the closure of the Claremont Custody Center back in September 2011 there ceased to be a privately-operated prison with the jurisdiction of the City of Coalinga. The property was subsequently sold to a private party for non-prison related use.

Thank you so much for your patience.
