‘Ending San Quentin’: plan would turn prison into ‘Norwegian style’ rehab center
Gavin Newsom wants to overhaul California’s oldest prison into a facility focused on training programs and education
You can’t get well in a cell. The idea that a state can rehabilitate the very ppl they are holding captive is Orwellian and has never worked throughout history. If you really want to make CA prisons better, start by dismantling the CCPOA
Bayard Rustin: “If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence.” End the violence against trans, nonbinary & intersex people in prison. #ClemencyNow bit.ly/Clemency-TGI
Governor @GavinNewsom - transgender, gender-variant & intersex people are under brutal attack across the US, including behind CA prison walls. We need real action, not symbolism! #ClemencyNow #ProtectTransPeople
