I was at San Quentin from 88 to 90, and Solano in Vacaville, from 90 to 2013. I actually liked San Quentin better, but I cut a 50 mile one way commute down to 6 miles.
you must have been one of the first in the new Solano.
I retired as Asst Super in 98. Heart attack.
Did consulting in 15 states on emer preparedness. Got to see a lot of prisons around the country, but never been in the Q.
One of our secretaries became a CO and was a LT at Vacavile, Rita Montez. Don’t know which facility.
Best wishes.
PS Used to go to the bay area a lot, baseball tickets. Lived in Sacramento. Stopped at George’s Orange in Dixon by the freeway for a burrito on more than 1 occasion.
Good grief. What did you do?
