Pelican Bay State Prison operates under dedicated ZIP code 95532 in Del Norte County, California. Opened in 1989, this maximum-security facility sits on 275 acres near the Oregon border, approximately 13 miles south of the state line. The prison houses minimum, medium, high, and maximum-security male inmates and has maintained this exclusive postal designation for over two decades.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) facility houses approximately 2,200 incarcerated individuals and employs about 1,400 staff members. Pelican Bay gained national attention in the 1990s for its Security Housing Unit (SHU), which held inmates in long-term solitary confinement. The prison's remote location on the rugged Northern California coast, with the Pacific Ocean to the west and dense redwood forests surrounding it, contributes to its isolation. Mail addressed to Crescent City reaches this facility, which operates as a self-contained correctional complex with its own medical, educational, and vocational programs.
