Gov. Gavin Newsom's $360 million plan to transform the notorious San Quentin prison is sparking outrage from critics who claim the Democrat is holding secret meetings with no oversight and purposely keeping the public in the dark.
"If there's no public accessibility to the San Quentin advisory council meetings, that's a really significant concern that I think people aren't paying enough attention to," Kaneda told the Associated Press. Republican Assemblyman Tom Lackey, who sits on the budget subcommittee on public safety, said Newsom did not seek lawmakers’ input.
By 2025, Newsom wants California's first and most infamous prison complex, which has housed Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, and Scott Peterson, to be known for being the best at offering education and job skills to those in California's prison system. San Quentin will no longer be a menacing-looking complex but will be converted into a peppy place for"turning out good neighbors" and"incorporating Scandinavian methods.
