District Attorneys from across California visited San Quentin to observe its rehabilitation efforts. The visit was arranged by San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and focused on the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, where evidence-based programs are part of the California Model, a new correctional approach, as reported by the Nevada County District Attorney's Office.
Representatives from Los Angeles and San Diego counties visited a correctional facility to observe the California Model, which focuses on reducing recidivism by addressing the root causes of criminal behavior and promoting effective reentry. The visit included panel discussions and guided tours, providing an overview of the facility's rehabilitation programs. The Nevada County District Attorney's Office shared that the visit fostered discussions on balancing accountability, healing, and long-term public safety.
According to the Nevada County District Attorney's Office on their Facebook page, "We remain committed to seeking out the most effective strategies to protect our communities and ensure long-term safety while keeping justice for victims at the center." The statement reflects the views of participants at a symposium on California's prison reform, specifically the California Model at San Quentin, which focuses on rehabilitation. The impact of these programs will depend on their implementation and community support, particularly in reducing recidivism and helping reintegration.
