ROBINSON: I remember growing up and hearing about San Quentin.
Man, I think it's a place that struck fear.
♪♪
It was a place that I never wanted to go.
(man speaking indistinctly over police radio)
I am Lieutenant Sam Robinson.
I'm born and raised here in California,
right out of Oakland.
I've been here for 22 years.
I worked 10 years on death row.
Maybe six to eight months in,
I witnessed my first murder here at San Quentin.
ROBINSON: And, so, then you know
it's a very, very serious place.
San Quentin is the oldest prison
in the state of California.
It's about 20 miles north of San Francisco.
We've been here on this site since July of 1852.
For about 130 of those years,
San Quentin was a maximum-security facility...
ROBINSON: ...in that everyone who lived at San Quentin,
they were here for really violent crimes,
and they did a lot of time.
A lot of what happened here was based upon
medieval practices to torture people.
The thought process at that time,
"If you break a person,
you'll get a person to change."
ROBINSON: Today, we normally house about 4,400 inmates
here at this prison.
And our first mission, of course,
is we house death row.
(door closes)
In the state of California,
if a person is sentenced to death,
if they're a male inmate,
they're going to be housed
at San Quentin State Prison, period.
(indistinct conversations)
ROBINSON: Our secondary mission
is what we call our general population.
One day, the doors open for them.
ROBINSON: Whether they earn it through the parole board
or they were sentenced to a definitive amount of time,
once they reach that date, they leave.
And we're allowed to do things a little differently...
ROBINSON: ...in terms of providing rehabilitative services
and access to the outside world.
MAN: What we going to do today is, man, we're gonna talk about
what's the impact on the victims from our crimes.
ROBINSON: We believe that we have guys leaving prison today
with better outcomes and more hope for the future.
Given the opportunity,
there are people who can come to prison
and reclaim the man.
♪♪
ROBINSON: And that's evolved to today
where we have sports activities
that are beyond just the normal prison fare,

is our basketball team

They could've at least got college scholarships.

to come in and have a opportunity
to prove to themselves that, "I could have made it,"

a legitimate basketball program

This is a picture of

Seven years today,
seven years exactly today
I was out there.
I was out there in the city of San Francisco.
I remember I was talking to God,
and I said, "Lord,
I know what I'm doing out here is not according to your will."
I always had that shame
to say that I was pimp, you know, and...
that's what it is. You're selling women,
and they're exchanging sexual favors for money,
and I'm taking that money.
And I had two women that were in a room,
and I remember sitting outside the hotel,
and I was talking to God.
I said, "God, I know this pretty much not the path
that you wanted me to go,
but I will gladly and happily die in my sins
and go to hell."
Sure enough, a week later, a week later,
I got -- I haven't seen the streets since.
A lot of people come into this thing
thinking that we ain't gon' have to bear our own cross.
I was looking at even when Jesus was going up to get crucified,
and he needed help with the cross,
and he called one of the men out.
I think one of the men was Simon.
He called Simon out.
Simon was like, "Man, look. I'm just --"
They like, "Man, look. No. Help this man get this cross."
And so what that looked like to me was, man,
this ain't gon' just be all on him like that.
You ain't just finna just --
You not just finna be living off his grace
and thinking it's just good
and thinking you could just live any type of way
because Jesus already did it.
That's that cheap grace that my boy was talking about.

carry our crosses just as well?
HARRY: Praise God.
No. He got a question. You're all right.
Is it good to say that Jesus can
help us our cross just as well?

My cross is heavy right now. You know what I mean?
And I don't mean to disturb anybody or --
Nah, you good.

Praise God, folks. You in the right place.
'Cause everything that happens is to drive us to God,

If they juice themselves up
to think that they're better than they are,

Tomorrow, it's going down.
The biggest event on the yard, man,
the Warriors is coming in.
When they come in, that's our game.
That's our championship game.
ROBINSON: The game against the Golden State Warriors
is the game of the year.
It's what they work up to all season long.
CUEVAS: A lot of our guys, this is the greatest opportunity
they'll ever had to play basketball in life,
let alone in prison.
Let's bring it in.
We got 22, 25 people, and I got to make the decision
on who's wearing these 12 jerseys.
The biggest draw, the biggest crowd, everything is magnified.
Everything is intensified.
Just a couple of reminders before we go --
Don't let your guard down. Still is a prison.
You don't want to go wandering off by yourself.
We're not playing against Steph Curry.
We're not playing against Kevin Durant,
but we're playing against the front-office staff.
We're playing against the coaches.
Those guys are not slouches.
I'm going to definitely say that Cutty is going to play tomorrow
because Cutty went to the hole for some (bleep)
- that he didn't do. - (applause)
Just for them to even care, you know,
show that type of attention to those
who are behind these walls, man, that's a blessing right there.
Walt.
(applause)
- Ant. - (applause)
Black.
These guys know us by first and last name.
Basketball did that.
They came in for a game and met a friend.
And the last jersey is going to go to Harry.
(applause)
CUEVAS: Harry is going home on Friday,
and that is a really big deal.
I also know that he has a lot of opportunity ahead of him.
I'm hoping that he gets a tryout
with the Golden State Warriors' D League affiliate.
He wants it bad, and he knows that
this is his only opportunity to make it happen.
No guarantees, but this is an opportunity that touches one
in millions upon millions of people,
and he's going to be the one.
One, two, three.
ALL: Warriors!
(indistinct conversations)
- ATL! - All day!
- They stupid.
HARRY: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- Yeah. - Welcome to San Quentin.
KENT: You ever done anything like this before?
EVANS: I mean, I've been to prison before, but not like...
KENT: This is a little bit different.

Coach, can you come and say a few words, Coach?
MILES: Yeah. Yeah.
Like he said, my name is Aaron Miles.
I'm the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors,
Golden State's G League team.
Be honest with y'all, I got a older brother
that's been locked up and in prison,
and when he was going to get out,
I was questioning, like, what was he going to do, man?
It's like his whole life, he was in the streets
gangbanging, selling drugs, pimping,
so I was nervous for him,
but he's out, man, doing great, man,
and I just say that just to encourage
you guys, man, to stay focused
because no matter what anybody out there
saying about you guys, man,
there's something special meant for you when y'all get out,
and I'm going to keep praying for you guys, man.

He's looking at Khalid like he's fresh meat.

TAYLOR: He's on the move, ball to Dr. Khalid...
MAN: Go catch it, Harry! Go catch it!
TAYLOR: ...down to the baseline.
Oh!
And rejected by the Phenom, big-man move up in there.
That was real beast-y.
MILES: You got to box him out, Nate.
TAYLOR: Up to the Phenom, here is the matchup.
DeMarco look at him like, "I can handle that guy."
This game is on!
TAYLOR: On the drop. Throw it up.
MAN: Yeah, that was in your face again.
That was in your face again, you bum.
Yeah.
DeMARCO: Stop turning the ball over, man.
Why we dribbling into four people?
It's not...
I'm working too hard, these games we play.
Hey. He's right. We got to be aggressive
at the same time. I understand that,
but I had a straight line to the basket, CD.
We're good. Let's be smart.
MAN: No turnovers like that.
Turn it up.
MAN: Stop crying, you bum.
You're going to sit with the rookie.
- Heck yeah! - Yeah!
MAN: Please! Come up in here with that soft (bleep)
Oh.
You going to get me sent to the hole. (laughs)
The Golden State Warriors,
three championships in the last four seasons.
But don't get it confused. This ain't the NBA.
This is San Quentin.
- Nick, I'm here. - DeMarco with the ball.
TAYLOR: Oh, nice, Rockman hit it and goes off the back.
MAN: It's all you. Shoot that.
Oh, and Captain Kirk,
a deep three-point exfoliation on that one.
Feed the ball to Swaggy.
He grabs it and say, "Get that out of here."
Robert Lee is horrible.
TAYLOR: Try to feed the ball up court. Here comes Nick Curry.
Fires that one up.
In the face.
There we go!
TAYLOR: That's Nick Curry, son of Steve.
Oh, DeMarco going to work on the Phenom,
throws it up off the glass and in.
There you go. Yeah, DeMarco.
TAYLOR: DeMarco steps inside, nice pivot move.
CUEVAS: Harry, you better guard him!
- Let's go. - There with the double-team.
TAYLOR: DeMarco fires up a three.
Oh, in the face.
CUEVAS: Harry, listen.
Do not leave Chris DeMarco.
- Yeah. - Don't switch off of him.
He's just hedging!
You got to step up and stop the penetration.
Body him. Stay with him.
I don't care where he goes.
Beat the (bleep) out of him.
MILES: Ball game!
TAYLOR: DeMarco with the ball, it's showtime.
CUEVAS: Harry, get inside him!
TAYLOR: DeMarco on the move.
Oh. All the way to the rim, no good.
CUEVAS: Nice boy! Get on that!
TAYLOR: Half Man, Half Amazing coming the other direction.
- Push! - Go, go, go, go!
TAYLOR: Fires that up, oh, off the glass.
The bank was open on that.
- Nice. - Come on!
- Yeah! - Your game is garbage.
You are who we thought you were!
TAYLOR: DeMarco put it on the ground, on the drive,
put it up and in, another grown man moving.
He said something to somebody who was talking crazy to him.
Boo!
TAYLOR: Down, Lloyd go... oh, and good cut to the basket.
- Yes, sir. - Oh!
TAYLOR: We got a game right here.
We're getting into crunch time.
This is where everything counts.
Feed the ball, VTSV over the curl, fires that one up.
The veteran.
MAN: Nice move, boy!
TAYLOR: We got a six-point game right here
with 3 minutes left!
- Come hustle! - See the ball!
TAYLOR: This is where it always falls apart for the Warriors.
Can they hold it out?
The Phenom with it,
this is who you want with the ball.
Shot is up. No good, in and out, heartbreak.
- Oh. - Oh, man!
One minute! One minute!
TAYLOR: With 1 minute left in the game...
- Play D! - ...here comes DeMarco
leading the fast break, cross court, goes over.
Young Kirk fires it up.
Oh! And now we got a game late.
CUEVAS: Listen. Listen. It's simple.
It's who wants it more?
It's going to come down to wanting it right now.
That's what's going to win us the game,
wanting it right now, not later.
Don't make the moment too big.
We've done this thousands of times.
This is just a day we win right here.
CUEVAS: We ain't losing nothing. We got this. Let's go.
ALL: Warriors!
TAYLOR: The crowd is getting antsy.
This game can go either way right now.
The Missile brings it up, just Davis on him again.
MAN: Go to work, boy.
TAYLOR: Feed the ball out to the Phenom.
MAN: Make a move, Harry!
TAYLOR: Comes the Phenom with the ball.
- Wow! - Good move, man!
- Yeah! - The franchise is back!
CUEVAS: Nice move, Harry!
He can't hold you!
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's finish this, man.
Come on, man.
TAYLOR: 14 seconds on the clock, 13.
13, 12, 11...
There's a double-team.
Turnover right there.
Here comes the Phenom on the move.
The Phenom puts it up and in.

Definitely with this program, it's been huge in my life, man.
It was the first time I played, you know, up under a coach,
man, that was really more concerned
with character-building, you know,
and teaching life skills through the sport of basketball,
so I learned a lot in here, more than
I probably would've ever learned playing basketball
on the streets, man, so I definitely appreciate you, man.
