The Prison Officer Podcast 37: San Quentin State Prison - Interview w/Ron
You know, whenever the discussion of the roughest, toughest prisons comes up, there are several names that come to everyone’s mind…Alcatraz, Sing Sing, Leavenworth, Joliet, and of course San Quentin.
Opened in 1852, San Quentin State Prison in California is one of those violent prisons that has become part of our national culture. A prison that currently houses more than 3300 inmates (700 of those in the prison’s Condemned Unit), San Quentin has been immortalized in movies, TV, literature, and even a Johnny Cash song.
My guest today is Ron, who spent a career working at San Quentin State Prison and he is here today to tell us his story.
