Dear California,
Remember when it was cool to commit crimes? We would like to be sent to San Quentin State Prison. We're wondering what sort of crime we have to commit in order to be sent to this beach-front property overlooking the San Francisco Bay and worth about $2 billion. San Quentin boasts a Shakespearean drama program, football, baseball, basketball, soccer and tennis teams …oh, and the Prison University Project. Sounds like summer camp to us … So, you're thinking about selling this place? We can't imagine why; inmate John Taylor, who is serving up to life for murder, is perplexed, 'I just don't know why the governor would want to shut us down'. Tough one. Maybe because it's some of the most prime real estate in the country. Maybe because the state recently spent more than $164 million on this prison and has budgeted another $356 million for a new complex. Maybe because we're sitting at our desk jobs, watching our retirement plummet, paying taxes on a $24.3 billion state deficit, and thinking it would be pretty nice to finally have time to take tennis lessons. We're not interested in any real crimes, but if you could let us know what could get us a life-sentence there, it would be much appreciated. We're just saying.
Sincerely,
Contemplating Criminals
