Attorneys urge Gov. Newsom to stop involuntary transfers from San Quentin prison
By Lisa Fernandez article
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - A group of private attorneys and public defenders throughout the state is urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to stop transferring incarcerated people at San Quentin to other California prisons against their will.
In a letter sent Friday to his office, the attorneys wrote that moving these persons now, during the height of a statewide surge of COVID-19 infections both in CDCR and the free world from a place with a very low infection rate appears ill-advised.
The public defenders also argued that this proposed transfer runs counter to the current state stay-at-home orders and cautions against travel. The attorneys were also joined by activists who started a petition to the governor to urge the release, not transfer, those in prison.
