Wikiproject Prisons
If anyone's interested, I've proposed a new wikiproject for the creation and improvement of articles regarding specific prisons, internment camps, and detention centers here. --Cdogsimmons (talk) 02:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Out-of-date inmate population statistics
The population statistic currently listed for California State Prison, Corcoran is 3,878 (as of 30 April 2016), this is out-of-date and inaccurate, as the current population listed as of this week is 3,093, which was made available online on Nov. 1 2017, by the website of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Incorrect Warden Listed
The warden currently listed for California State Prison, Corcoran on the Wiki page is Dave Davey. He is not the current warden. It is listed on the website of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that the current warden is actually Michael Sexton, who has been acting warden at California State Prison-Corcoran since 2017.

Possible controversy section
In 2012 and 2013, there was a concerted effort by prisoners of many different prisons to engage in a hunger strike to protest for decent health care. Corcoran State Prison possibly engaged in efforts to prevent strike from spreading, and sectioned off the striking prisoners. Additionally, one prisoner participating in the hunger strike committed suicide in solitary confinement. Unsure is this is worthy of its own section or not.

Nobody is Answering the Calls
I have been trying to call the Prison to ask about visiting and also to find out what I can send to my sone as for writing. The phone just keep ringing. Has anyone else been having the same problems.
