This is the most thorough footage I've ever seen of San Quentin's Death Row. - Always thought the doorway to Condemned Row was outside. - Never knew so much sunlight came into the execution chamber. - Never knew the gas chamber was so green. - Never saw the gas chamber door close with someone filming from within. - Never saw how the gas chamber latch was actually secured. - Never knew so much sunlight came into the inmate living area. - The chicken & rice soup served for lunch looked appetizing to me. If the function of San Quentin wasn't so macabre, I would say that it looks fairly pleasant for a prison.
I had a Nurse friend who wanted me to work there (HIV unit, not death row) back in the early 90’s. So I met him at the prison and he took me on a tour. The walls were crumbling. It was so run down. An overwhelming sense of despair followed me the whole time I was there. I didn’t take the job. Not worth the headache.

Warehousing humans on a massive level. What a concept. As a child, one gets sent to his room for punishment. As a teen, one gets sent to detention for discipline. As a adult one gets sent to a human storage facility for the rest of their days.
Even back then, it doesn't seem like it would be that easy. Definitely shouldn't have been. Lol. This Vinmoonsu dude has some juice in the law enforcement community
It’s awful but what we’re these cars up to on the street? I’m sure if you were to read their jackets, you’d release the gas yourself. Their victims are warehousing 6-feet under.

He was one of the freeway killers that was named to a few serial killers who operated in southern california at the same time. Very brutal and with various sidekicks.murdered male hitchhikers.
That was north block 6th tier. It is like the honor row for condemned inmates that is why thy get to roam. In the adjustment center and east block they are escorted in cuffs
The Death Penalty obviously doesn’t work so why doesn’t the so called system try a different tactic, maybe staring at the roots of the problems that leads to this mess
What you mean the death penalty dont work....it works very well...i no of no other man other than Yahshua/jesus who has been executed and came back to life, thats a 99.99% effective rate for the death penalty, i say it works extreamly well.
From the books I've read it looks like the first few minutes are on the original death row on the top floor. Dozens took their last ride down from there. All the rest looks like a normal cell block that's been allocated because there's so many of them There's another film somewhere with Douglas Clark on it living in a different type cell.

I know the 90s freed a lot of prisoner's off death row. A lot of States got rid of it for that very same reason(some people on the row that maybe innocent). Unless it's strong evidence, no one should be on the row. Mexico max sentence is 56 years. Not life or death

Not at all
All the souls they took.
The ironic fire extinguisher
You think..
Thes old jail house shorts are always like that
Just think that people still get served meals like this each day since 1988.
So? What's the problem
I couldn't imagine how bored you would get just sitting in that cell or hanging out in that hall way for years on end. I'd rather off myself
Yea if you weak minded
I'd off myself, seems scarier living decades languishing in a cell with fuck all to do.

thank you for this amazing footage
Still don't understand how some guys get so big and shredded eating that kind of food....
Basic protein oatmeal peanut butter and jelly eggs not access to a lot of sugar drinks like soda. I can see
