California, with the nation's second-largest prison system, is considering a dramatic proposal -- releasing 40,000 inmates to save money and comply with a court ruling that found the state's prisons overcrowded.
They should start with the inmates we went to see today! These men have worked tirelessly to achieve not only recovery from drugs and/or alcohol but have helped others achieve it too!
Today was a day of celebrating Recovery Month. There was fantastic music, great conversations, and humor. Comedian Mark Lundholm was there along with Warden Robert K. Wong who presented a proclamation to the men who created the treatment program at San Quentin.
These men are outstanding in what they do and need to be recognized and supported for it. The few who started the treatment program at San Quentin need to be paroled so they can continue on the outside what they have so successfully begun inside a place where not very many good things happen.
