Newsom unveils new vision for San Quentin State Prison after acknowledging past failures.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a $20 million plan to transform San Quentin State Prison from a maximum-security prison into a rehabilitation and education center. The plan aims to reduce recidivism rates in the state and improve public safety. The prison will be renamed San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and will borrow rehabilitation practices from places such as Norway. An advisory group made up of criminal justice, rehabilitation, and public safety experts will advise the state on the transformation. The plan is building off the success of other rehabilitation programs in San Quentin, which is known for its own accredited liberal arts degree program, a popular podcast "Ear Hustle," and the inmate-produced newspaper the San Quentin News.
