“California is now going to have a prison system that is like that of the other states and the federal government. Integration means people won't be coming off buses (into prisons) and have the color of their skin determine their cellmate.”
“This is a fundamental sea change in the way the Department of Corrections does business and this settlement, which is a direct result of the Supreme Court's decision in February, will have a real and lasting impact on the entire California prison system. Like the bussing and lunch counter segregation policies of years past, California's practice of separating prisoners by race is a relic of a different era. We're proud to have played a part in bringing this era to a close.”
