Okay so, your city hall is out here doing… interesting things, fam. We got a bunch of fluff pieces on the official city media releases today, but one really caught my eye, and not in a good way for anyone who cares about, you know, actual rehabilitation.

California's prisons, including our very own San Quentin, might lose their arts programs. This isn't some niche thing; we're talking about programs that have been running for *decades*. The release from Saturday, April 4, doesn't give us the "why" or "who voted for what," which is classic. But it states that San Quentin is among eight California prisons on the chopping block.

Think about that. These programs are often the only thing offering any kind of creative outlet, any kind of hope, for people inside. And we're just gonna yank them? That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all, but also some real head-scratching decisions coming out of Sacramento that affect us directly.

This isn't just a prison issue; it's a societal one. What happens when folks get out with no skills, no creative outlets? What does that mean for our communities? Keep an eye on how this develops, because "decades-old arts programs" don't just disappear without a fight.

I'm telling you, Keith and the squad will have thoughts on this tomorrow morning over at mornings.live.
