Improvements to Visiting Room Kid’s Areas

January 1, 2009 by San Quentin News Staff

The San Quentin visiting rooms have undergone much appreciated renovations.
“It was a valiant group effort, and all are to be commended and recognized for their humanitarian act of generosity,” said Sammy Johnson, the North Block MAC chairman.
Prisoner G. White, the Visiting Room MAC representative, was highly involved in the project.
The many contributors included D. Sheldon, who donated art supplies for the mural and facilitated the project and donations. PIA provided the kids tables and chairs, Center Force donated toys, the San Quentin Education Department supplied books and toys, the Carpenter Shop anchored the shelves, Project Reach and Marin Literacy provided books and a $500 donation, and Steve Emerick and various prison artists painted the murals.
The San Quentin Visiting Room staff were very cooperative, with appreciation for Lt. K. Evans, Sgt. J. Carlton, Sgt. D. Moor, and Sergeant D. Smith.
“A special thanks to Warden Robert Ayers, Jr. and his administration,” said Johnson, “for his vision which sparked the beginning of a wonderful project.”
Much effort came from the prisoners who devoted their heart, sweat, talent and skills in bringing this about.
