This is San Quentin

An episode in the KPIX-TV series 'Adventures in Living' from 1957, written and directed by Bob Davy, about the arrival, processing and rehabilitation of a San Quentin prison inmate. Although this film is highly stylized, the narrator tells us that: "The story you are about to see is true. The people are real." Includes many views of prison life from inside San Quentin, including scenes of: inmate evaluation; furniture making; recreation; a group counseling session; an interview with Warden Harley O. Teets (1906-1957) and a parole review board. Also features interviews on the streets of San Francisco with people who knew the inmate (referred to as "Bob"), who speculate on what factors contributed to his behavior and arrest.
