Santa serves as prison Santa at San Quentin
Don Blansett, a 34 year old inmate at San Quentin serving time for two first degree murder charges, played Santa for children of inmates in the prison nursery. The 325 pound volunteer dressed in white beard delighted Joy age five asking for a Bionic Woman and skates. Blansett, who works as an administrative clerk, said he is having a ball and credits inmate helpers for the event. He hopes for appeal success but could stay Santa until parole eligibility in 1982.
