Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday unveiled his plan to transform San Quentin State Prison into a facility that emphasizes services and support over punishment, dubbing the new model the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. The governor joined former and current prison staff and inmates, elected officials, and criminal justice reform advocates for a news conference on Friday at the prison announcing the project, which some are calling a Scandinavian approach to incarceration.
