California moves to dismantle nation’s largest death row

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who three years ago placed a moratorium on executions, now is moving to dismantle the United States’ largest death row by moving all condemned inmates to other prisons within two years.

The goal is to turn the section at San Quentin State Prison into a “positive, healing environment.”

Unreal.

Jerk Newsom endangers us all, he loves criminals more than us.

[Rodm]

Hey, just move them into the governor’s mansion.

They can take turns babysitting his kids.

“positive, healing environment.”

That's NOT going to bring back any of the people these scumbags killed.

And that’s how it goes. It’s never about really solving the problem, just passing it off to someone else. Just like all the power problems in Cali. They keep banning sources of power and never making more plants they approve of so they have to buy lots of their power from other states and stupidly claim they are so green. /facepalm

Liberals have been doing this crap for a hundred years and each time it turns into a disaster.................

Removing death row should be a pretty straightforward task.

Dig large ditch, fill it. Put up flower wallpaper, and some windows treatments. Done.

The goal is to turn the section at San Quentin State Prison into a “positive, healing environment.”

If this means they are hiring more psychology-trained counsellors and psychiatrists then expect the violence numbers increase drastically. They always do wherever those birds get a toehold.

Oh, I thought they were going to shut down the Tenderloin

My thinking has changed, our current government is far too corrupt to trust with the death penalty.
How soon before it is used on a political enemy?

[Mr.Unique]

That’s the only true conservative position.

Well, most of California death row inmates died by natural causes while waiting for the sentence to be carries out.
The death row was actually nicer then other prisons, I heard. So maybe, these crooks will get real punishment now?!

[DIRTYSECRET]

The prison is in Marin county-valuable.

[kanawa]

What happened to Alcatraz Island?

[Michael.SF.]

What if the next Republican governor decides to start the executions again? Oh, wait Kalifornia. Never mind

[Beowulf9]

So I guess that will include whoever is left in California on death row of the Manson family.

I suggest putting them all in state government leadership positions.
