A Day In The Yard For San Quentin Inmates

San Quentin houses some of the most notorious criminals in the State of California, including those on death row.

Many other inmates regard San Quentin as one of the best facilities in the California Department of Corrections system. Some inmates say they were transferred to San Quentin from other institutions as a reward for their continued good behavior.

San Quentin offers some special programs, including sports, arts, education, media and theater with the cooperation of volunteers in the surrounding communities. When the Bryan Brothers world champion tennis team came to visit San Quentin recently, reporters and cameramen from the prison newspaper were there.
