At last my dream of prison ownership can come true. You thought the mods were harsh before...

Schwarzenegger to propose selling San Quentin
By Mike Zapler

Mercury News

Posted: 05/13/2009 07:27:25 PM PDT

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today will propose selling San Quentin Prison, the Los Angeles Coliseum and other state-owned properties in a bid to raise cash to counter the state's daunting budget shortfall.

He also wants to accelerate the sale of Agnews Developmental Center, the 81-acre facility on the north edge of San Jose that closed its doors in March after 120 years.

The proposal to sell off state assets is part of the governor's revised budget plan being released today. Besides the Coliseum and San Quentin, the properties he's eyeing for sale are the Cow Palace in Daly City, the Orange County Fairgrounds, Cal Expo in Sacramento, Del Mar Fairground, and the Ventura County Fair.

The sale of those properties would generate upward of $600 million and possibly more than $1 billion for the state, according to a copy of Schwarzenegger's proposal. But proceeds from those sales would not arrive for another two to five years.

Selling the Agnews property would be done within two years.

With its stunning views of the San Francisco Bay, San Quentin has long been eyed for a more lucrative use. Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Modesto, has proposed selling both San Quentin and the Coliseum to generate badly needed revenues for the state.

If voters reject a slate of ballot propositions in a special election Tuesday, as polls indicate they will, the state will face a deficit of $21.3 billion through mid-2010.

Too bad Johnny Cash is gone, he'd be the perfect owner for San Quentin prison. What they going to do, tear it down and build a shopping mall?

**Frazzled**

I hear the train acomin.

Its rolling round tha bend.

But I aint seen the sunshine since, I don't know when.

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin on...

And that train keeps arolllin, on down the San Antone...

Johnny Cash was a beast. I don't like country, but his version of Hurt (vs the NIN version) was awesome, and I liked Ring of Fire a lot too.

**dietrich**

Cash has a song called San Quentin too.

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me
You've hosted me since nineteen sixty three
I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen them die
And long ago I stopped askin' why

San Quentin, I hate every inch of you.
You've cut me and have scarred me thru an' thru.
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man;
Mister Congressman why can't you understand.

San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
Do you think I'll be different when you're through?
You bent my heart and mind and you may my soul,
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold.

San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell.
May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
May all the world forget you ever stood.
And may all the world regret you did no good.

San Quentin, you've been livin' hell to me.

Alanis Morissette said it was ironic to have rain on your wedding day.

No, it's not ironic, I was being flippant. As usual.

**barlio**

No worries.
