Report on Pelican Bay State Prison
The jury describes a December 9, 2025 tour and favorable observations of inmate interactions, art, gardening and the firehouse. Two formal findings concern art-program morale and productive firehouse work; R1 recommends continuing rehabilitation programs. Separate unnumbered commendations are narrative, not additional formal items. These are tour observations, not independently measured long-term outcomes. The source supplies no release date or required-response section. No response is supplied in this intake. This unchanged annual report contains the prison report on physical PDF pages 12–14 (printed pages 11–13).
