BildningspoddenEssä: San Quentin – av Ulf OlssonFängelset San Quentin, norr om San Francisco, är mytomspunnet och ökänt. Innanför murarna lever drygt tretusen människor sina liv, isolerade från omvärlden. Vem blir man i ett fängelse? Några av fångarna på San Quentin blir studenter, i fängelset finns nämligen ett college. En dag åker en svensk professor dit för att undervisa. Det blir början på en vindlande vandring genom ändlösa korridorer, fängelsets historia, rasismens USA och samtida svensk kriminalpolitik. Litteraturhistorikern Ulf Olsson berättar om sin tid på San Quentin och reflekterar över inspärrningens logik.

San Quentin State Prison inmates have an organized baseball team that competes against local Bay Area rec teams, which are bussed in from the outside. San Quentin's baseball team is not without controversy and begs a larger question central to prison administration and reform -- are prisons primarily a place for punishment or rehabilitation?
