SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on Wednesday imposed an "indefinite pause" on further coronavirus-related transfers from San Quentin, KTVU has learned.
Transfers for reasons other than coronavirus, such as emergency medical care, will continue.
"This is a good thing," said Don Specter of the Prison Law Office, who along with other attorneys have been fighting to release medically vulnerable prisoners from custody during the pandemic. He was told the news firsthand.
It was not made clear how long transfers will be put on hold.
