Newsom’s plan to spend $360 million to remodel San Quentin State Prison into a college-like campus has received support from state lawmakers without much oversight.

"Spending hundreds of millions on new prison infrastructure is a step in the wrong direction," said Brian Kaneda of CURB, a criminal justice reform coalition."If there’s no public accessibility to the San Quentin advisory council meetings, that’s a really significant concern that I think people aren’t paying enough attention to."
The Democratic governor first announced his plans for remaking the prison — and renaming the facility located about 18 miles north of San Francisco the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center — in March. He said California would offer its own take on the Scandinavian prison model where cells look more like dorm rooms and inmates have access to activities and educational programs.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation started soliciting contractors to design the new campus before lawmakers approved the budget, and a firm has been hired with plans to start construction next year. Lawmakers waived the historic preservation requirement and an environmental impact review to speed up the project.
Republican Assemblymember Tom Lackey, who sits on the budget subcommittee on public safety, said Newsom did not seek lawmakers' input.
