“I believe dangerous predators should spend their lives behind bars. … I also cringe at many California Democrats’ refusal to take seriously public-safety concerns. … Yet, unlike some of my conservative-minded friends, I am encouraged rather than appalled by the Newsom administration’s $239-million plan to remake the notorious San Quentin State Prison in Marin County ‘into a Scandinavian-style rehabilitation center complete with a farmer’s market, a podcast production studio and a self-service grocery store,’ per the San Francisco Chronicle. The podcast idea sounds dopey, but the rest of it isn’t.” (04/04/25)
