Woodford witnessed four executions during her five years as warden of San Quentin State Prison. Even before she watched the inmates die ? decades after the killings they?d been convicted of ? the Sonoma State University alumna believed it is wrong on many levels for the state to be executing people. Woodford, who left San Quentin to serve as undersecretary of the entire state Department of Corrections, now makes a mission of her opposition to capital punishment. As executive director of the national non-profit Death Penalty Focus, she?s promoting the SAFE California Act, which would eliminate the death sentence in the state.
