Hiking
From the highest point of the ridge in Lagoon Valley Park there is a straight view down into what looks like a Concentration Camp: California State Prison - Solano. The male-only prison holds over 5000 inmates, double its design capacity. The adjacent California Medical Facility prison has a design capacity of 2,179 but a total institution population of over 3,000 sick inmates. The California prison construction boom between 1984 and 2005 was driven by years of increasingly tough anti-crime legislation, and began with the construction of California State Prison, Solano, which opened in August 1984 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Prison,_Solano
