This is a report on the death of George Jackson at the San Quentin prison, starting with an interview with a former San Quentin guard, conducted by Patrick Mayers of KPFA and David Stevens, an independent Black journalist. Following this interview are actualities from San Quentin on August 26th, the first day after the incident when attorneys were allowed in the prison to examine the scene of George Jackson's death and to speak to their clients who are inmates there. Includes comments from two members of the California Prisoner's Union; Ruchell Magee's attorney Robert Carrow; a report on the pre-trail hearings of the surviving Soledad Brothers, John Clutchette and Fleeta Drumgo, which erupted into a mini-riot; and actualities from the courtroom when the riot police arrived and began beating people in the courtroom; California State Assemblyman Willie Brown's response to Associate Warden James Park's and Procunier's contention that the violence at San Quentin was a response to "revolutionary dilettante bull____". Contains sensitive language. This program was produced by Pacifica with tapes supplied by KPFA.
