It has been said on many occasions, “If these walls could talk, what stories would flow from them.” Well, San Quentin now finds itself in a unique position to once again have its walls speak. For the benefit of future generations the San Quentin News is here, for everyone to share/express their thoughts, experiences, and ideas of the past and present.
The human beings that are encapsulated inside these prison walls have the power to change themselves, as well as influence others in positive ways. Some of us will never get out and others will. What has become the obvious is that we can learn from our mistakes, and so can others, if we, as a community, are brave enough to share in this undertaking.
San Quentin News intends to be the vehicle to communicate what’s going on inside that impact our lives. At the same time, to convey our hopes and dreams to an outside world.
As a prisoner/human myself, I know that we are products of our life’s experience. It is not our individual, or collective, faults. When it comes to the behavioral information we receive from birth, and our various environmental backgrounds, we must deal with the cards in our hands.
Nevertheless, we are responsible for our actions which have produced our different incarcerations. Yet, all humans are responsible for the present. The question now is what will you do? What, about the knowledge of life, will you share?
