Twenty-two condemned inmates have been transferred to Donovan prison in Otay Mesa, part of a voter-approved measure passed in 2016
Many of the people that San Diego County sent to death row are no longer sitting on actual death row. Their sentences have not been commuted. They still face the potential of execution. But as part of voter-approved Proposition 66, California is phasing out its death row units at San Quentin — the state's oldest prison and the site of the first state-conducted execution in 1893.
Gavin Newsom issued a moratorium preventing the state from carrying out the death penalty during his time in office — meaning no executions while he's the governor. His order does not bar a judge from issuing a sentence of death, nor does it preclude prosecutors from continuing to pursue capital punishment in current cases. The San Diego County District Attorney's Office is not seeking the death penalty in any of its current cases.
