Marin County Attempts to Block Death Row Expansion

January 1, 2011 by San Quentin News Staff

SanRafael — Marin County officials have filed a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to block San Quentin’s new 541,000-square-foot Death Row, containing 768 cells with 1,152 beds. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation officials announced a delay in awarding a contract for the first phase of the $356 million complex until Feb. 9 to allow recently installed Gov. Jerry Brown the opportunity to review the plan.
