Governor Newsom Pardons Ex-San Quentin Podcaster

California Governor Gavin Newsom granted a pardon to Earlonne Woods, co-host of the "Ear Hustle" podcast, which he began while incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison. Woods, who was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, received the pardon in recognition of his transformative work. The podcast, which has been downloaded 80 million times, offers insights into prison life. Woods, who was previously sentenced for burglary, kidnapping, and attempted robbery, had his sentence commuted by former Governor Jerry Brown in 2018. Newsom's pardon required approval from the state Supreme Court due to Woods' multiple felony convictions.

Bay Area Serial Killer Anthony Sully Dies in Custody at San Quentin

Sully was convicted of murdering six victims, beating, raping, and killing women inside his Burlingame warehouse. He had been incarcerated since 1986. Another death row inmate, Ronald L. Sanders, also died from natural causes. California has not carried out a death row execution in 17 years, and Governor Gavin Newsom has instituted a moratorium on the death penalty in the state.

"California's New Vision for San Quentin: From Prison to Rehabilitation Center"

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to transform San Quentin prison into a rehabilitation center, with a focus on restorative justice and preparing inmates for reentry into society. The facility will be renamed the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center and the more than 500 inmates serving death sentences there will be moved elsewhere. The plan is part of a decades-long transformation of the state’s sprawling prison system, which went under federal receivership in 2005 after a court determined prison medical care was so lacking it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. Newsom is allocating $20 million to launch the plan and hopes to complete it by 2025.

"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.

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.

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

California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to transform San Quentin, the state's oldest prison, into a rehabilitation center modeled after Norwegian incarceration systems. The prison will focus on job training for trades and education programs to prepare prisoners for reintegration into society. The transformation would mark a fundamental shift from the extremely punitive American system and could serve as a model for the nation. The overhaul of San Quentin would be a huge undertaking, and there are significant unanswered questions about what the transition would mean for its current residents as well as the tens of thousands of others located across the California department of corrections and rehabilitation (CDCR).
