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.

Beryl,

My response to you on May 1st, shown in the email trail below, should have satisfied your request. There is no privately-operated prison in the jurisdiction of the City of Coalinga, therefore there are no documents relative to request to provide.

If the above response does not satisfy your request please feel free to contact me.

Thank you!
