More than two dozen condemned inmates from San Quentin's death row have been transferred to the California Institution for Men in Chino, prompting safety concerns from the city's mayor and police department.
More than two dozen condemned inmates from San Quentin's death row have been transferred to the California Institution for Men in Chino , the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said, with more on the way this week.It's part of the Condemned Inmate Transfer Program, which marks the closure of segregated death row units at San Quentin and the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla, according to the CDCR.
Officials said the Chino Police Department is scheduling a meeting with local officials to discuss the safety concerns brought on by the arrival of the death row inmates.The program does not change the inmates' sentences, but rather enables the CDCR to "repurpose existing facilities for education and restorative justice purposes."Additionally, CDCR's initiative has expanded from eight to 24 institutions eligible to house permanent transfers from death row.
