The fourth floor of the North Block was the prison's first death row facility, but additional death row space opened after executions resumed in the U.S. The death row at San Quentin is divided into three sections: the quiet "North-Segregation" or "North-Seg," built in 1934, for prisoners who "don't cause trouble" the "East Block," a "crumbling, leaky maze of a place built in 1927" and the "Adjustment Center" for the "worst of the worst." Most of the prison's death row inmates reside in the East Block. As of December 2015, San Quentin held almost 700 male inmates in its Condemned Unit, or "death row."

The states of Florida and Texas had fewer death row inmates in 2008 (397 and 451 respectively) than San Quentin.
