San Quentin is one of the most famous prisons in the United States. It currently has the largest death row in the country and has been the site of 500 executions. Today, it still remains the men's only "death row" facility in California. As the state's oldest correctional institution, San Quentin is a maximum-security cell block, a medium-security dormitory, and a minimum-security firehouse, so don't feel nervous riding by it.

It would be great if a reduction of the embarrassingly large US prison population would help to close this prison and open up a bike trail through its oversized fenced off support zone
