California will close San Quentin death row and turn it into a 'positive and healing environment': 670 killers will be moved from notorious unit which once housed Charles Manson and RFK's killer after Governor Newsom halted executions
2022-02-02
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • San Quentin's death row dates back to 1893, when its first condemned inmate was hung

  • Its residents over the past 160 years have been the stuff of horror movies, and have included some of the vilest murderers in American history

  • Infamous former inmates include serial killers Charles Manson and the 'night stalker' Richard Ramirez

  • Governor Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on executions in 2019, and is now moving to dismantle San Quentin's death row - the nation's largest

  • About 670 condemned inmates will be moved to the general prison population

  • One advocate said the victims' families are unhappy with the decision

  • 'They´re moving condemned murderers into facilities that are going to make their lives better and offer them more amenities,' the victim's advocate said
