The Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) is located at the Ken Kennemer Center in Bakersfield, California. The Kern-MCRP helps inmates successfully reenter the community by allowing eligible inmates, committed to a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) institution, to serve the end of their sentence in the community in lieu of confinement at a CDCR institution. The MCRP is designed to provide, or arrange linkage to a range of community-based, rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorder treatment, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification, and social support. The Kern MCRP helps participants successfully reenter the community from prison and focuses on reducing institutional recidivism. All levels of eligible inmates who have up to twenty-four months, but no less than 30 days of their State prison sentence remaining, may volunteer for placement. Inmates determined eligible for placement are reviewed by the Institutional Classification Committee and, if approved for placement, referred to the Classification Staff Representative for endorsement. All inmates are subjected to mandatory electronic monitoring.
