Beto O’Rourke to visit inmates inside San Quentin prison
Mercury News ^ | 14 Sept

Posted on 09/14/2019 7:44:14 PM PDT by rey

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke is planning to visit San Quentin State Prison north of San Francisco on Saturday to meet with inmates and have them lead him on a tour of the facility — a rare peek behind bars for a White House hopeful.

The former Texas congressman will spend part of his time with inmates who are close to finishing their sentences, discussing ways to improve the “re-entry” process into society and to combat recidivism. He will also conduct an interview with “Ear Hustle,” a podcast produced by inmates inside the all-male prison that is California’s oldest.

SQ is a STATE prison and the presidents have little to do with it.

True, but Beto needs every vote he can get.

If that’s the case he should take Buttplug with him as his VP choice. “Hi Bubba, meet my VP choice, oh and here is his bar of soap. Remember! Vote for us. “

He’s running out of constituencies that will vote for him, so, from desperation, he’s trying for the votes from prison inmates.

But, they’re not going to be voting for him, since, he would take away their preferred weapon in their profession, guns. Loser everywhere.

Nothing like rallying support from the state’s condemned.

No publicity stunt in which can be spun by a Leftist to show America as “structurally racist” is too asinine...
