This prison was mentioned in one of Gil Scott-Heron's poems, "We Beg Your Pardon": Said they're gonna slap his wrists, gonna retire him with 850 thousand dollars And America was “shocked” America leads the world in shocks Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock “850 thousand dollars,” they said, and the people protested, so they said, “Alright, we'll give him 200 thousand dollars” Everybody said, “OK, that's better” I'd like to retire with 200 thousand dollars someday San Quentin, not San Clemente Do not pass go, go directly to jail, do not collect 200 thousand dollars https://genius.com/Gil-scott-heron-and-brian-jackson-we-beg-your-pardon-pardon-our-analysis-annotated https://genius.com/Gil-scott-heron-and-brian-jackson-we-beg-...
