San Quentin's death row dates back to 1893, when its first condemned inmate was hung
Its residents over the past 160 years have been the stuff of horror movies, and have included some of the vilest murderers in American history
Infamous former inmates include serial killers Charles Manson and the 'night stalker' Richard Ramirez
Governor Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on executions in 2019, and is now moving to dismantle San Quentin's death row - the nation's largest
About 670 condemned inmates will be moved to the general prison population
One advocate said the victims' families are unhappy with the decision
'They´re moving condemned murderers into facilities that are going to make their lives better and offer them more amenities,' the victim's advocate said

#1 LOL. The executions continue on the streets, in businesses, in homes, and even in schools. It alters behavior. People avoid areas, people lock themselves down, people fear. Heck the executions continue in prisons but not carried out by the state.

#4 They say they have to let a lot of prisoners go because the prisons are too crowded and then they close San Quentin? They downgraded a whole bunch of felonies to misdemeanors because they said they don't have enough prisons and now they're closing one of the biggest prisons in the state? Only Democrats...
