California Governor Jerry Brown scuttled plans to build a $356 million new death row at San Quentin prison that some lawmakers derided as a “Cadillac” because of its cost.
Brown said it would be “unconscionable” to go ahead with the complex north of San Francisco, planned since 2003, when the state is cutting jobs and services to bridge a deficit.
