  1. First, no flage ?, & what is the process of cleaning disinfecting cells, beds food,trays ,bathrooms, laundry cafeteria recreational yard interview center or rooms why don’t Warriors and the client and family meet .

  2. Why don’t you do a report on the Covid-19 virus isolated, sequenced and characterised……….. 🫥

  3. San Quentin covers up 90% of anything that goes on there by simply denying the right of any inmate to report to Sacramento, in a Grievance four pages Form, the total lack of medical care, access to a legal law library, sanitary humane conditions, gang promoting segregation program, drug and tobacco dealing staff, slave labor, revengeful cops ect., by simply Not Allowing Any Serious Grievance Form To Leave Quentin And Go To Sacramento To The Next Two Levels To Be Reported And Resolved. Thus forcing the hiring of competent staff instead of Good Old Boys with a four million slush fund to cover everything up, but that's the history of California Corruption at it's best.

  4. What has become so fascinating with those who align themselves with the Prog Left has been, since COVID, the ease with which they have been manipulated into believing COVID wasn't a planned event by select US elites and what is best is to follow the D leadership with their support of lockdowns, masks, and vaccines that we now know, was detrimental to the economy, wholly unnecessary, and were never intended as "vaccines." This political block ignorantly carried water for what has been becoming more and more obvious as a crime against humanity by select Western oligarchs and plutocrats and have yet to show any desire in addressing their foolishness. I look forward in noting how TRNN and the rest of those who align themselves as Prog Left responds in the weeks, months, years to come and the degree to which they will begin to humbly address that they too are susceptible to becoming 'good Nazi's' just like good Germans of old.

  5. They tested experimental COVID-19 Vaccines on inmates without their consent…that's the state of Prisons in The United States. 💢

  6. When prisoners in CA were sent to quarantine they were not permitted to take personal belongs including books, radio, tv. Double bummer.

  7. Always love to listen to this channel and thanks all to those who keep us informed about our prison systems here in America. This also very important news and all are not forgotten about. Sending all my heart to all.❤ I inform all I can about this channel and what one may do. Also many thanks again to Juan Moreno Haines and special thanks to Katie RoseKatie Rose Quaratt for being the kind of journalist she is.
