"California's San Quentin Prison to be Transformed into Rehabilitation Center under Newsom's Leadership"

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to transform San Quentin State Prison, home to the largest death row population in the US, into a rehabilitation center for less-dangerous prisoners. Inmates serving death sentences will be moved elsewhere in the California penitentiary system, and the facility will be renamed the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. The plan is inspired by Norway's approach to incarceration, which focuses on preparing people to return to society. The facility will concentrate on "education, rehabilitation and breaking cycles of crime." Newsom is allocating $20 million to launch the plan.
