San Quentin State Prison, the oldest in California, reflects the evolution of the U.S. criminal justice system. Founded in 1852, it began as a self-sufficient community where inmates engaged in farming. Over time, it shifted focus from rehabilitation to punishment, mirroring societal changes. Notably, it was the site of California's executions until 2019. Despite challenges like overcrowding and public health crises, San Quentin has been at the forefront of prison reform, introducing educational and vocational programs aimed at reducing recidivism. The prison's history intertwines with national debates on capital punishment, rehabilitation, and prison conditions, making it a symbol of the complexities within the American penal system.
