This visit comes after he read Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow," which details the relationship between the "war on drugs," racism, and mass incarceration in the US. Zuckerberg went to San Quentin to see what "prison conditions are like for people," he wrote in Facebook post.
Through a San Francisco-based bootcamp called Code.7370, inmates are selected to learn how to program. It was created by venture capitalist Chris Redlitz who gave entrepreneurship talks at the facility via the nonprofit he founded, The Last Mile, made to help reduce recidivism rate and former inmates re-enter the workforce.
According to prison officials, programs like the ones San Quentin prison leads have a 7.1% recidivism rate in comparison to a whopping 61% for the general prison population, USA Today reported.
