Is this the #CaliforniaModel? Heat deaths. Constant violence. ENOUGH. Incarcerated people are dying while @CAgovernor @gavinnewsom sweeps #homeless encampments and spends $240 million on monuments to himself in #SanQuentin.

On 8/19, there's a protest at #CCWF demanding an end to this brutality. Instead of investing in communities, Newsom is ignoring calls to #CloseCAPrisons, criminalizing people, and stealing the belongings of the unhoused.

San Quentin begins prison reform - but not for those on death row
California is transferring everyone on death row at San Quentin prison to other places, as it tries to reinvent the state's most notorious facility as a rehabilitation centre.

Many in this group will now have new freedoms. But they are also asking why they've been excluded from the reform - and whether they'll be safe in new prisons.

#California renovates #SanQuentin. But what #America really needs is the reform of our criminal #justice system—the criminal laws, the criminal procedures, the policing procedures, the treatment of arrestees.
