Editor of the San Quentin News, Richard (Bonaru) Richardson, pictured in 2018 after hearing Gov. Jerry Brown commuted his sentence so that he would be eligible for a parole hearing. The board of parole hearings denied him a parole date.
He has remained in San Quentin and recently tested positive for COVID-19, according to Bill Drummond, professor at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and author of Prison Truth: The Story of the San Quentin News
Richardson is one of over a thousand inmates at San Quentin who have tested positive for COVID-19.
