California State Prison, Sacramento

What?

It had been called Folsom State Prison for years. The opening scene in the Jonny Cash movie shows the sign for "Repressa" the name for the city where located.

I was chatting with the mayor of Folsom once. He said, that having the prison there relieved them from building low income housing units.

The Folsom school system was wild, with prisoner children.

“”California State Prison, Sacramento

I was wondering the same thing. Lived in Sacramento for a lot of years and never saw a prison there - HA!!!

Not that they couldn’t fill one close to the Capitol building! Made to order for politicians.

When was that? I live in Folsom. If it wasn't already famous you would never know there was a prison here. It's the most upscale suburb in Sacramento county. Prisoners families sure don't live here.
