The state is merging its condemned inmates into the general prison population.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who three years ago placed a moratorium on executions, now is moving to dismantle the United States largest death row by moving all condemned inmates to other prisons within two years.

San Quentin State Prison is home to California’s last remaining death row for men, but Governor Newsom wants to dismantle and repurpose it into some sort of vaguely described “positive, healing environment.”

The Condemned Inmate Transfer Pilot Program has moved more than 100 people off of death row at San Quentin State Prison and the California Central Women’s Facility and into other housing locations, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
