BELLINGHAM – Reginald Pulley will present “San Quentin: A Monstrosity” as part of the Fairhaven College World Issues Forum at noon on Wednesday, Jan. 25 in the Fairhaven College Auditorium on the Western campus.
The presentation is free and open to the public.
When Pulley was appointed warden of California State Prison at San Quentin in February 1982, he happened to be the first African American to be appointed in California to head a maximum security prison. During his tenure as warden, he was quoted at a public hearing as calling the prison a “monstrosity” that should be closed.
