This reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe committed a ridiculous crime so that they could go and spend the night at a local jail instead of experiencing the stress of Thanksgiving. However, they quickly realized that the jail was full of men who had the same idea and were sent to a prison instead. They then had to join different gangs in order to survive and had to 'shiv' each other. So yeah, prison is scary and San Quentin is no exception.

[@davidnoticiero6728]

While any prison in California is an incubator for gang politics and warfare, San Quentin is far from the most dangerous prison. California State Prison- Sacramento is far more violent with a much higher homocide rate than the much more famous San Quentin and Folsom State Prisons.

[@alyjo8645]

Technically Pelican Bay is the worst in CA. It’s where they house all of the heads of the gangs in California. They have a long history of riots and even though the place where they house the head gang members (SHU) they all still able to run the gangs not just at the prison, but other prisons and the streets. They’re the ones who have to okay intra-gang beatings and all killings. There was one gang leader that was able to pay cash for his daughter to go to college, while he was behind bars. They still manage to make hundreds of thousands of dollars all from their cells.

My "parents" did all of it because I had ADHD, after the 1st beating add PTSD, after the 15 months of solitary add SID (Solitary Isolation Disorder), and I'm dyslexic and they didn't understand or care. As proved by the fact they refuse to have any relationship to this day. I've tried every 5 or 10 years to no avail.

San Quentin used to be the most dangerous prison back in the day, but due to its outdated design it mostly houses low level inmates now and is used as reception. The house hold name criminals mentioned are on death row and have no contact with other inmates. So while San Quentin at its worst was worse than any other California prison has ever been, it is a relatively lax spot today.
