this is cbs news bay area with reed cowan. >> big changes coming to san quentin state prison. how governor gavin newsom wants to reimagine it to get inmates ready to rejoin civilian life.

more worries about the banking sector, a is b o. and reactn fm moragas the gales advance in the ncaa tournament. good afternoon, i'm ryan yamamoto in for reed cowan. we start with a new plan by governor newsom to transform san quentin state prison to focus on rehabilitation. anne makovec joins me now with the details, anne? >> rehabilitation is the keyword there and part of the new name. the prison would be called san quentin rehabilitation center. that would be a place for less dane rouser -- the other 2,000 inmates are on lesser sentences. newsom says about 800 people are released from the prison every year and the goal is to keep them from committing another crime and ending up back in the

system. >> it's not just about rehabilitation, it's about homecoming. this is about stretching people's minds, what we're capable of doing, and reducing recidivism in this state and reducing the likelihood of someone coming back and not being a full member of society and keeping people safe and making sure that vmseel respected through process. >> and it is not a done deal yet. governor newsom says if the money is eventually approved, the san quentin rehabilitation center will open in 2025, ryan? >> thank you, anne. and joining me live right now, independent police auditor cordell. thank you for joining us. can we get your early impressions on the governor's plan, and do you see any potential pitfalls in this? >> this plan, ryan, is a big deal. it is the first time there's been such a major step taken to reimagine what prison is all about. and i believe on the positive

side this makes good fiscal sense and it makes good common sense. we want those who are incarcerated to be better people than when they went in, and by transforming san quentin, that's exactly what's going to happen. so these will be individuals once they come back and join our communities are going to be people not likely, in fact, very unlikely to reoffend so that save money. i see it as a win-win. >> and we're already seeing the different approach at salinas valley prison based on the model used in norway? what's your take on that? >> norway is different from california. there are very different demographics here, different kinds of crimes that are committed here. so there are challenges ahead and those who are planning on changing san quentin understand

this. so they've looked at a model that works and it's one that basically treats the incarcerated as human beings. it doesn't tear them down such that they feel that they are next to nothing, which is what happens in prison. people are so dehumanized. so that is the major change. if you believe that we are all better than the worse things that we've ever done, this is one way to show that by saying to these individuals there is hope for you, take advantage of all of these things, and you will be a better person. the only downside, if we want to call it that, is that these inmates that are leaving san quentin, these are all men. and so we have almost 11,000 women who are incarcerated in three prisons in california, and it is my hope that this reimagining also extends to women who are incarcerated throughout the state. >> all right, well, thank you very much. thank you very much.
