"California Governor unveils plans to transform San Quentin prison with focus on rehabilitation and reform"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to transform San Quentin prison into a rehabilitation facility inspired by Norway's prison system. The facility will be renamed San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and will provide incarcerated individuals with access to programs that will equip them with skills and tools to be successful inside and outside of prison. The plan aims to prevent released prisoners from committing another crime and returning to prison, making communities safer. The facility will no longer house death row inmates, and the change is designed to help incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society once they complete their sentences.
