    Being a prisoner doesn’t give anyone the right to abuse you.
  • @kayekaye251
    The building isn't responsible for the abuse they suffered. People are. We need to use facilities correctly.
  • @40INTENSITY
    The people who are responsible for watching criminals are criminals themselves.
  • @sharon4094
    Once behind closed doors and bars, I'm sure those guards are out of control!
  • If the employees are also relocated, the issue just seems it will spread elsewhere. The prison needs to eventually reopen with a new set of top brass and guards.
  • We don’t have enough prisons and these are being closed. I’m not sorry for inmates being transferred.
  • @timwaldron7599
    It's not justice if you transfer the women out to another facility??? What is she saying, she wants them all freed? What about the victims of all the crimes these inmates committed? Call me crazy, but I am more worried about the justice they receive. Of course this is wrong, but being wronged in prison doesn't mean you get your sentence dismissed.
  • How do they tell if its a women's prison in California? Is everyone that works there a biologist? Or the judge/jury that sent them there biologists?
  • @avawilliams4227
    Here's a wild idea, maybe don't commit crimes and you will never have to experience prison.
  • @sweettina2
    Once again California makes more dumb moves. Instead of hiring decent people, they close the building. "Compassionate release"- get real lady. Did they show their victims any compassion? If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
  • @DeenaMilkers
    survivors? of what? their own crimes? anyways, when can we expect san quentin, a much more dangerous place to be a person, to be emptied due to the fears of criminals within?
  • The best way to not be a victim of a prison system is don’t create victims from your actions.
  • @rapman5791
    Don’t break the law and you won’t go to jail.
  • @user-beachbay53
    Probably closing the prison to make room for illegal immigrant housing
  • They think they oughta be set free??? What are yyou in PRISON FOR??? VIOLENCE??? STAY BEHIND BARS< IT IS PUNISHMENT.
  • @burtronomaniac
    Cameras are cheap these days, they should be everywhere in a prison including the wardens quarters and bathrooms and showers
