"San Quentin State Prison (SQ) is a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation state prison for men, located north of San Francisco in unincorporated San Quentin in Marin County.
Opened 162 years ago in July 1852, it is the oldest prison in California. The state's only death row for male inmates, the largest in the United States, is located at the prison. It has a gas chamber, but since 1996, executions at the prison have been carried out by lethal injection. The prison has been featured on film, video, and television; is the subject of many books; has hosted concerts; and has housed many notorious inmates."(courtesy of Wikipedia)

Hi Raider Fan, I like your shots and description. I have a friend that worked there for many years....not your average day at the office job that's for sure. The stories he tells make me cringe.
