American Crimes

At San Quentin, every inmate is marked with a security level based on his crime and prison behavior; serving as a reception center, the overpopulated prison must house a dangerous mix of levels within close proximity of one another.

Lockup: San Quentin: Extended Stay

Slammin' in the Slammer

Inside San Quentin, gangs, drugs and sheer boredom make up a violent mix; Scanvinski Hymes has been in prison since he was 18 years old; almost 20 years later, he's racked up the highest number of violent offenses in California prison history.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys

San Quentin's warden says that other than an inmate's release date, visits are the most important things in their lives; for some, visits are rare moments of intimacy; for others, they are business transaction opportunities.

The Conjugal Visit

Boredom reigns supreme for prisoners who spend endless hours, days and months confined to their cells; some have devised creative ways to pass the time; one inmate is creating a wall mural, but not with real art supplies.

Killing Time

As the oldest prison in California, San Quentin is steeped in a violent history, so it has a set of regulations and procedures to maintain order; inmates often operate under a different code of conduct; gangs control "prison politics."
