Did the state learn from their many blunders while establishing San Quentin? Well . . . yes and no.

A note: some sources list Charles Aull as Folsom’s first official warden and that Pockman and McComb were merely “temporary” wardens, however, my research clearly showed that both Pockman and McComb were very much considered official wardens of Folsom. Pockman served from July 15, 1880 to November 1, 1881 and John McComb served six years, from November of 1881 to December of 1887.
