California is accelerating its efforts to empty San Quentin’s death row, with plans to transfer condemned inmates to other state prisons by the summer.
An executive order was signed five years ago that imposed a moratorium on the death penalty in the US state – the last state execution there was in 2006.
Sky’s James Matthews was given a rare look inside and met prisoners held in extreme conditions.

They all deserve to stay in forever they will never change.
Phantom looks all doped out !😞
Brother had enough lies from the channel u are good just know about Islam and muslim love your brother as u love your self ❤
C est dégueulasse comme commentaires regarde ceux que vivent vraiment ces personnes et renseigne toi sur le Colorado et sa prison où des gens ne voient même pas le jour et n'entendent aucun son. Vous serez jugé vous aussi pour votre réponse et votre non compassion envers ces hommes. Certains au Colorado n avaient même pas tué mais dénoncé l etat américain. Ont été torturé pendant des années
America is a dystopian, dysfunctional nightmare
Dang that CO had cakes😂
Why do they blur out the keys?
I’ve seen people go to prison for a small sentence, like under two years, and I end up getting in a fight, and they have to protect them selves so he has a knife for protection and end up killing him and never going home

The state of California isn't out to treat prisoners humanly, the are integrating them se they kill each other. Mixing gangs and protective custody and death row… they just want them to die
Alot of victims family's will not be able to have closure 😢
Imagine being on death row and getting interviewed by professor Xavier.
Any guy who kills a cellmate who did nothing just to try to go to court does not need to be here.
We need electric bleachers , not a chair. 😶🌫️
Big phantom
SAD WAY TO LIVE I PRAY TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER I NEVER FIND MYSELF IN A SITUATION AND SEND ME TO A PLACE LIKE THIS THIS IS NOT LIVING THIS IS NOT LIFE
So there's thousands of level III and IV prisoners, not even on death row who are arguably too dangerous to ever be released? But then these guys who society deemed heinous to be put to death, are up for consideration for education and work? Who in the hell is in charge anyway??? This is ridiculous!
Damn that was phantom aka robert galvan with the fresno tat hes a bulldog
Pay restitution to their victims? Their victims are dead!!
Death row in a state that doesn't execute anybody seems odd.
They won’t take responsibility for their actions. They will think they can commit more crimes because they got off on the earlier crimes they committed
'I keep my warrant in my shoe'.
Lots of gaping holes in there
Lockdown!
California is a joke.
Phantom thinks he’s “hiding” in San Quentin 😂
Would be a good place for biden
I don’t want to be liked as a monster😢 gtfouh
It's looks like a horrible dark depressing place to be I'm not saying that some people don't deserve it because they do but still looks horrible
California Legal System Logic
Death sentence imposed upon murderers with no remorse: Premeditated murder
Abortion: Completely normal, totally not killing a living being in favor of convenience, and should be free to all women even underaged girls with complete anonymity.
Very logical and sound state, I wonder how their crime rates reflect these excellent choices.
This is nonsense. How are these people supposed to be reintroduced back into the "free" world when they won't be able to survive and hold a steady decent paying job because of all the restrictions placed on them? The CDCR is lying, as all working for the law do.
They have Nothing to worry about there !! They’re Not going to carry out their sentence in California
St Quentin is so worn down
What a life 😮
Boring 😴
Been there done that! West block is your first lesson either yard side or bayside….
Why does it take so long for the death sentence to
Wheres kim k
She wants to help all these misunderstood victims of the court system to get OFF 😂😂
Guys that took life and freedom from others bitching about life and freedom being taken from them….imagine that.
Almost ALL of these guys are literal predators.
Paying back restitution 😂😂 they make like $5 a week
2024 san quentin still the scary like its been in the 90's
When thet say they are there for killing a fellow inmate, what did they do to get in thst situation?
These people are delusional 😮
Was that Richard Ramirez at 0.35 ?
