The infamous state prison overlooking the bay will be transformed into a lockup where less-dangerous prisoners will receive education, training and rehabilitation.
SACRAMENTO -- The infamous state prison on San Francisco Bay that has been home to the largest death row population in the United States will be transformed into a lockup where less-dangerous prisoners will receive education, training and rehabilitation, California officials announced Thursday.
Full details of the plan were not immediately made public, though officials said the facility would concentrate on"education, rehabilitation and breaking cycles of crime." Newsom was expected to share more during his visit, the second stop on a four-day policy tour that he's doing in lieu of a traditional State of the State address this year.
At the overhauled San Quentin, vocational training programs would set people up to land good-paying jobs as plumbers, electricians or truck drivers after they're released, Newsom told the Los Angeles Times. "Communities win when we have rehabilitative efforts but, yet, how about victims?" Lackey said."Have we rehabilitated them?"
California voters upheld the death penalty in 2016 and voted to speed up executions. Newsom's decision to halt them in one of his first major acts as governor drew swift pushback from critics including district attorneys who said he was ignoring the voters. Inmates on death row will not have their sentences changed but they will be transferred to other facilities, according to Newsom's office. Today there are 668 inmates serving death sentences in California, almost all of them men, according to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
