- Jerry Brown kills death-row boondoggle – California pretends to have a death penalty for murder and other heinous crimes. That is, judges and juries sentence violent felons to die in San Quentin State Prison's execution chamber.
But that is just a pretense because, in fact, almost no one is ever executed.
Instead, supposedly about 700 condemned inmates reside for years, even decades, on what's called "death row." They're in greater danger of dying of old age – or boredom – than in taking the long walk.
The state can't even obtain an adequate supply of the legal chemicals it would need to administer lethal injections.
Given that reality, it made absolutely no sense for the state to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new death row complex at San Quentin. The proposed project was not only too large – with space for more than 1,100 inmates – but its chief effect would have been to make condemned felons' lives less stressful.
The death row boondoggle is just one of the many ways in which California has spent far more money on prisoners than it should.

Jerry Brown is grandstanding as usual since the courts will order the renovations anyway.
The Death Penalty should be enforced but won't be as long as Brown is governor.
So, get over it.
