San Quentin

San Quentin is considered the oldest in the territory Sunshine State. Also, it is known by the name of one of the albums recorded by the legendary Johnny Cash. American album recorded during one of the performances here.

Inside the prison there are some death row, as well as a gas chamber. Despite their status, are also serving sentences and simple thieves, not only the most notorious villains. Each has its own territory and the camera. Looking at the "arsenal" of service in San Quentin, you begin to think about how far Americans have gone from us. Watching TV, reading books, visits to the dentist, outdoor games and free possession of mp3-player - just a few of the benefits provided by the prisoners.
