California Assembly shelves Reagan prison plan amid inmate opposition
In Sacramento, a Reagan administration proposal to build two new prisons was shelved indefinitely by an Assembly subcommittee after prisoners’ groups argued the plan would perpetuate a flawed system. They urged no new prisons until Reagan leaves office, while officials stressed San Quentin’s unsuitability and the need to replace it with facilities near San Diego and Vacaville for about 2,400 inmates by 1978.
