Grace to Grow

Great free opportunity for families

Until June of this year, San Quentin had no cases of COVID-19. Then the CDCR transferred 120 people from California Institute for Men (CIM) - a COVID hot spot - to San Quentin. They had not been tested in a timely manner - and COVID came with them. Inmates have been denied phone calls to date, COVID cases at San Quentin have soared to more than 1,900 people. At least ten people have died and almost 100 people have been transported to area hospitals, putting undue strain on multiple county medical resources.

As of this week, people incarcerated at San Quentin are no longer able to make phone calls to loved ones.
Call to ACTION:

Call/email Governor Newsom's office today.

Call the Warden at San Quentin and the Governor to demand reinstatement of phone access for people incarcerated there!

Email: [email protected] or https://govapps.gov.ca.gov/gov40mail/
Call: (916) 445-2841

Ask Governor Newsom to:
Visit San Quentin and tour the facility with press so he can bear witness to the deplorable conditions inside;
Immediately stop all transfers between California prisons and from prisons to ICE detention centers;

Demand that phone access be reinstated for people incarcerated at San Quentin. (*As of July 14th the warden has barred residents' access to phones indefinitely)

Call the Warden at San Quentin to demand that phone service be made available to those incarcerated there. Phones are not the cause of COVID expansion; the virus was spread throughout every housing unit by Custody Officers who work in multiple units. Not by phone calls.
