BREAKING Gov. Gavin Newsom moves to dismantle California's death row by moving all condemned inmates to other prisons within two years.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is halting the execution of more than 700 condemned inmates on California's death row for at least as long as he's governor.
Corrections officials began a voluntary two-year pilot program in January 2020 that as of Friday had moved 116 of the state's 673 condemned male inmates to one of seven other prisons that have maximum security facilities and are surrounded by lethal electrified fences. The ballot measure approved six years ago also required condemned inmates to participate in prison jobs, with 70% of the money going for restitution to their victims, and corrections officials said that's their goal with the transfers. By the end of last year, more than $49,000 in restitution had been collected under the pilot program.
