MTC President Jody Lewen recently authored a white paper entitled, Operationalizing Transformation: Advancing the Goals of the San Quentin Transformation Initiative. Following upon the report that was recently released on behalf of the Advisory Council of the San Quentin Transformation Initiative, of which Dr. Lewen served as a member, the document lays out a methodical approach for achieving the goals of the San Quentin Transformation Initiative.
The paper also offers an alternative approach to the state of California’s current plan to invest up to $360 million in the demolition of an existing building at San Quentin and the construction of a new one in its place – instead proposing robust renovation and construction projects that would transform infrastructure across the entire prison.
The ideas presented here are solely the views, opinions, and recommendations of the author, not necessarily of other members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, or any other parties.
