. Inmates of Coyote Ridge typically have more than six years up to life to serve. Attached to the main facility is the minimum-security "camp", where inmates must have six years or less on their sentences. The camp buildings look more like those of an average community college, complete with landscaping. Inmates sleep in dormitories, operate a textile factory, and grow some of their own food in a small garden on the grounds. Some inmates are allowed to go off-site to work in highly supervised jobs (including the traditional litter clean up). The facility was the first prison campus in the United States to achieve LEED Gold certification. As of January 2011, the main facility is almost full with an inmate population of over 2100. A majority of the facility's inmates, approximately 1,700 of 2,065, went on a food strike in early 2019 to protest the breakfast menu served to them.
