Do you have the resilience of a therapist and the patience of a saint? Are you ready to support some of society’s most underserved populations while working alongside a strong behavioral health team? If so, we've got high-impact travel assignments in correctional healthcare facilities across California — and they’re calling your name (hopefully not over the intercom).

Your Correctional Circuit:Ione, CA

Facility Type: Medium-security
Population Served: Adult males | Mental health & substance use disorders
Why Go: Historic gold rush town charm meets deep-impact clinical work. You’ll work in a tight-knit team that’s serious about rehabilitation — and you might even see a wild turkey or two.

Vacaville, CA

Facility Type: Medical psychiatric correctional center
Population Served: Complex medical & mental health cases
Why Go: A unique blend of behavioral health and medical crossover cases. Plus, you're close enough to Napa to dream of wine on your day off.

Susanville, CA

Facility Type: High desert facility
Population Served: General and enhanced outpatient levels of care
Why Go: You’ll never run out of fresh air, and the scenic mountain backdrop is better than most office views. Just be ready for snow — and soul-searching.

Stockton, CA

Facility Type: Psychiatric correctional care hub
Population Served: High-acuity psychiatric population
Why Go: If you thrive on making real change in crisis stabilization and treatment planning, this is your arena. Think psych hospital — but with gates.

Lancaster, CA

Facility Type: High-security housing
Population Served: Long-term incarceration | Mental health stabilization
Why Go: Located in SoCal’s high desert, it's remote enough for quiet reflection but close enough to LA for a weekend escape. Great coworkers, better stories.

Soledad, CA

Facility Type: Multi-level housing
Population Served: Inmate-patients in general population & EOP units
Why Go: Between sessions, you’ll enjoy sweeping valley views, solid coffee, and the satisfaction of helping patients often overlooked by traditional systems.

Folsom (Represa), CA

Facility Type: Iconic correctional institution
Population Served: Varied psychiatric levels of care
Why Go: Yes, that Folsom. This site’s deeply integrated psych services make it a prime location for LCSWs seeking meaningful work and strong peer support.

Corcoran, CA

Facility Type: High-security
Population Served: Specialized mental health programs
Why Go: You’ll serve in a uniquely challenging yet rewarding environment. Excellent benefits, cohesive teams, and a real chance to make lasting clinical impacts.
