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.

San Quentin prison to undergo rehabilitation-focused transformation.

California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to transform San Quentin prison into a rehabilitation center for less-dangerous prisoners, where they will receive education, training, and rehabilitation. The facility will be renamed the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, and the more than 500 inmates serving prison sentences there will be moved elsewhere in the California penitentiary system. The move follows Newsom's 2019 moratorium on executions and dismantling of the prison's gas chamber, as well as his 2022 announcement that some inmates would be moved from San Quentin to other prisons. The plan is inspired by Norway's approach to incarceration, which focuses on preparing people to return to society and reducing recidivism.
