Occupy the Prisons in San Quentin, Calif.

On Monday, I was assigned to cover the latest Occupy event in the Bay Area: Occupy the Prisons. I didn’t follow up to find out how the attendance was elsewhere in the nation, but about 300 hundred arrived outside San Quentin Prison in the north bay.

Prison guards were ready, to say the least. I heard via an outside cop that the entire prison was to be on lock down in preparation for this protest.

Those silhouettes at the top are actually cops watching the speakers of the rallies.
