Locate Butte County MCRP Inmates

Butte County MCRP Overview

Official sources identify the facility as Male Community Reentry Program Butte, also called Butte County Male Community Reentry Program. It is operated through the CDCR Male Community Reentry Program structure, with CDCR Division of Rehabilitative Programs oversight and Tri County Treatment identified as the community provider in the PREA audit. It is a state community reentry program, not a Butte County Jail housing unit and not a traditional adult prison.

The facility serves eligible male CDCR incarcerated persons who are near the end of a state-prison sentence and are placed in the community. Participants remain under CDCR custody and program rules. The PREA audit describes the site as minimum security with one housing unit and mandatory electronic monitoring. That custody status is why a family search should begin with CDCR's statewide records system rather than BCSO's date-range booking PDFs.

Butte County MCRP Population

The 2024 PREA audit gives the most specific facility-level numbers for Butte County Male Community Reentry Program. It lists a 40-person designed capacity, a current population of 40 at the audit point, and a 38-person average daily population for the prior 12 months. The audit also reports an age range of 26 to 70 for the male population reviewed. These numbers describe the CDCR reentry site, not the larger Butte County Jail population.

Butte County also has a local jail and community-corrections programs, but those are separate systems. Alternative Custody Supervision, SWAP, and Day Reporting Center programs are run locally by the Sheriff's Office. Butte County Male Community Reentry Program is a state program tied to CDCR release planning and reentry services.

Lookup Butte County MCRP

Use California Incarcerated Records and Information Search, known as CIRIS, for a person in Butte County Male Community Reentry Program. CIRIS searches CDCR custody by name or CDCR number. BCSO booking logs can help with a recent local arrest, but they are not the lookup source for a person already placed in MCRP. County jail staff may not have current program details unless there is a new local arrest, hold, or transfer back into jail custody.

1. Open CIRIS and choose either Name search or CDCR Number search.
2. For name search, enter the last name, then add first name, middle name, age range, or commitment county if needed.
3. For CDCR number search, enter the six-character CDCR number when known.
4. Check the result for current location, admission date, commitment county, and parole eligible information if shown.
5. Use CDCR contact channels for locator questions rather than treating Butte County booking logs as the program roster.

The CDCR CIRIS locator is the source for the statewide locator screenshot below.

CIRIS matters for this facility because MCRP participants are in CDCR custody even though the placement is physically in Oroville.

Butte County MCRP Contact

The program address and phone come from the facility map and PREA audit materials. Use the program phone for facility-specific questions. Use CDCR's locator and statewide help channels for CDCR custody record questions. Use Butte County Jail only when the person has a new local booking, a county hold, or another reason to be in sheriff's custody.

CIRIS results may include name, CDCR number, age, admission date, current location, commitment county, parole eligible date, Board of Parole Hearings information, and victim notification links. CDCR warns that CIRIS may not reflect true name, age, CDCR number, current location, commitment county, admitted date, or parole eligible date and is not an official record.

Butte County MCRP Visits

No official public Butte MCRP visiting schedule was available in the reviewed CDCR and program materials. That gap should not be filled with county jail rules. The safe, source-backed route is to contact the program or CDCR before travel and to follow CDCR community-program requirements. Because MCRP is a reentry placement with mandatory electronic monitoring, access and movement rules differ from a standard jail visit or prison visiting room.

The key distinction is custody type. Butte County Jail visitation rules apply to sheriff's custody at Gillick Way. Butte County Male Community Reentry Program serves state-custody participants under CDCR reentry placement rules, so a jail visit allowance, jail visiting form, or GettingOut video rule should not be assumed for MCRP.

Butte County MCRP Mail

No dedicated Butte MCRP mail rule sheet, commissary fee table, or deposit vendor page was available in the reviewed CDCR and program materials. The facility should therefore be treated as a CDCR community reentry program where mail, property, money, and contact rules must be confirmed through the program or CDCR. Butte County Jail's Access Corrections fees, county commissary limits, 7 Gillick Way mail address, and jail phone vendor do not apply to MCRP unless CDCR or the program says so.

Butte County MCRP Eligibility

CDCR describes Male Community Reentry Program placement as voluntary for eligible male incarcerated persons. CDCR program material notes a placement window of no more than 32 months and no fewer than 60 days before the Earliest Possible Release Date. The program is designed for reentry, not for new local arrests. Participants may receive support with family reunification, community resources, education, employment, health care, recovery groups, and housing preparation.

Not every state inmate qualifies. CDCR program criteria list exclusions such as PC 290 registration, sexually violent offenses, high violence risk, escape history, active or potential felony hold, warrant or detainer, recent serious in-custody misconduct, RHU or PSU release within 12 months, validated STG I status, arson determinant, Level IV 180-design housing, and close or maximum custody. These are CDCR placement factors, not local jail release conditions or Butte County bail rules.

Earliest Possible Release Date

A CDCR sentence-planning date used for timing eligibility and release preparation.

Electronic monitoring

A mandatory supervision tool for MCRP participants in community placement.

Detainer

A hold or request from another authority that can affect placement or release.

Butte County Jail vs MCRP

Butte County Jail and Butte County Male Community Reentry Program are often confused because both are tied to Oroville and custody status, but they serve different legal stages. The jail is a sheriff-operated local custody facility for arrests, warrants, holds, remands, pretrial detention, and county sentences. MCRP is a CDCR community reentry placement for eligible men near the end of a state-prison sentence.

For a local arrest, start with the Butte County Jail page and BCSO booking logs. For a person placed in state custody, search CIRIS. A person can move from county jail to CDCR after sentencing, and the search source changes at that point.

About Butte County MCRP

Butte County Male Community Reentry Program is part of CDCR's broader pre-release community programming. CDCR source material notes that the Oroville program serves multiple northern California counties, including Colusa, Glenn, Nevada, Placer, Sutter, Tehama, and Yuba. CDCR's Inside CDCR coverage described Butte MCRP participants visiting the Feather River Fish Hatchery as a community reentry activity meant to help participants acclimate to public life.

CDCR also reported a July 2023 walkaway from the Butte County MCRP and a July 17, 2023 apprehension, with the person transported to Folsom State Prison and the case referred to the Butte County District Attorney for possible escape charges. That example shows that MCRP is a custody placement with real supervision terms, even though it is community-based and not a locked county jail in the usual local roster sense.
