Dear SQ News, I just want to congratulate you on your article about the food that is common in the institution. Based on your findings there are some foods that are unhealthy which could worsen out health conditions. I took that paper to work and showed it to my co-workers and was shocked to find out that it was the first time to see it and the next thing I know they were all reading it together. Thank you for the informational guide on the things I’m putting in my body, because you reminded me about the food I need to avoid so I can stay healthy.

Dear SQ News, I am writing to Rehabilitation San Quentin State Prison change its name to San Quentin Rehabilitation Center. First I would like to thank San Quentin for this opportunity. Inmates in S.Q. can change their life by attending groups this can help them stop using drugs, alcohol or violence. This can also prepare them to deal with responsibilities, for example take job, or supporting kids or family.
