I stumbled across the California Department of Corrections‘ Flickr stream tonight. There are lots of sets to explore including some photo-galleries from various prisons of Bring Your Kids To Work Day.
Click on any image to see it larger.
I have always wondered if the prison system took part in Bring Your Kids To Work Day, and if so, how? Thanks to these clumsy attempts at community PR (clumsiness quite typical of large state agencies, I would say) we now know.
Children practicing fire abatement at California Correctional Centre; learning CPR at California Institute for Women; doing first aid at North Kern State Prison; riding the bus at Deuel Vocational Institute; and dressing up with the SERT team at Folsom.
Most of the photographs I have featured are from the Correctional Training Center, Galt, CA. Here’s head count – Hands Up Kids!
Third from bottom is a single image from San Quentin Prison’s Bring Your Kids To Work Day, and the final two images are from Avenal State Prison.
I’m a little speechless. You?

In regards to the San Quentin photo (third from bottom). This photo was shot from the old Warden’s tennis court located in the wardens park. The house in background, is house 114. This is were I grew up. This photo demonstrates how low the San Quentin administration is willing to stoop in order to promote there self-serving corrupt propaganda. But please Pete Brook, Stop referring to the C.D.C as the C.D.C.R.! For there is no such thing as state induced rehabilitation. Never was and never will be! There is however a very much alive and well, California Department Of Corruptions.

the ‘justice’ system is a doctrine of sociopathy against those they deem sociopaths.
